Remove Nios referenced files from project no longer using Nios

Hi.

I am facing the following problem.

I recently remove the Nios from a design, and somehow the project still try to references some files, I have tried to search in the .qsf file but there is no references there anymore.

even in the timquest while generating the netlist I am getting this warnings.

do anyone knows what files I should remove or modify so that the current project is no loger sending warnings for missing files?

    Yeap! as inusual as it sounds.

    by reading the warnings of the project I found that some say,

    XXX file not found... and

    some constraints ignored while trying to reach a instance of a component which is no longer in the design.

    Update: I was able to remove many of them, by Project-->Organize Quartus Setting File.

    Saving the project.. AND Closing Quartus completely... removing db and incremental_db

    Reopening the project.

    Recompile all.

    However there still some references that still try to reach some old components.

    Are there any old qip files that are still included in the project?

    I did not find the cache, however I dont have any error on compiling, it is just the warnings. What I did. I remove completely the folder and fetch it again from my repository (svn) which includes only the needed source files. and no automaticaly generated files.

    then I solve the previous problem.

    Now I still have some other linkages, to some other entities no loger existing. See Below. I will try to do the same procedure again to se if this time it is solved.

    Any other ideas where are this "global assignments set?" I allready look in the qsf file and there are no "OPTIMIZE_POWER_DURING_SYNTHESIS NORMAL_COMPILATION" options there.

    Warning: Found invalid Fitter assignments. See the Ignored Assignments panel in the Fitter Compilation Report for more information.

    Are you sure you had removed the file paths from SETTINGS/FILES? That path is still included even if you have deleted the file.
