fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'x'

I am getting this link error although I am no longer linking to the
library (as a result of refactoring). I have checked and double checked
my link options and I am no longer including the .lib file, I have
removed the directory containing the headers relating to filex,

Yet strangely enough, when I view the Linker->CommandLine (in Project
Properties), the lib file is included the 'all options' section (which
is not "editable"):

/ERRORREPORT:PROMPT libx.lib
What is going on?. How come the lib is being implicitly included when I
have not specified it in my linker options?

How acan I remove this file - and fix this problem?
Note:
1). I have cleaned and rebuilt the entire sln - and that didn't work
2). YES, I have checked and DOUBLE checked the linker options to make
sure that the lib is no longer being used in my project
