VideoPad claims files missing, but no missing files listed in red

The last couple of days I've been getting a popup every time I load one of my projects in VideoPad, that says:

 

"Could not locate some of the media files. Clips with missing files will be shown in red color in the media list. To find files manually right click an item in the media list and select 'File details...'."

 

But when the project loads, there are no files listed in red in my media files, and I see no evidence of anything actually missing.

 

Yesterday I did remove a file I had used in this project from my computer, and it did display in red, so I removed that file from the project media list as well. I suspected that this file must still be showing up in my cache, so I cleared my cache, and ticked the option to always clear the cache on closing, but the message about the elusive missing files continues to pop up every time I open that project.

 

All other projects open normally, without any claims of missing files, so I assume this must still be related to that file I had removed. It's not a major emergency, since there really doesn't seem to be anything actually missing, but it's disconcerting to see this warning every time, and I wonder if there's something I can do to make it stop popping up.

 

Thanks for any insight.

With 'bin', do you mean the media list?

 

I removed a file from both the timeline and the media list. And I cleared the cache.

 

There are no missing files listed in the timeline, but every time I open this project it claims there are files missing.

Which version of VideoPad are you using?

 

There should be a "Resolve Missing Files" dialog pops up when opening the file if there is any file missing. You need to click the "Resolve" button to find the file. If you click "Finish" without resolve, the unresolved files will be automatically removed from your project.
