A file or folder with the name already exists Visual Studio

Solution 1:

Restarting Visual Studio didn't help, the folder is cached on the system.

Open Solution Explorer there is an icon that looks like a many Pages: which is the Show All Files. Once clicked, one is able to see the hidden, to the visual studio project, the folder that was causing this error. (Look for the folder in the View section.)
