    I have noticed lately when I open older projects or make new ones my Solution is filled with so much junk files it makes navigating difficult

    PackageManager being a particularly infuriating solution added to the mix
    But the general bloating of my solution is annoying.
    Is this the case going forward?

    Have you tried updating to the latest Visual Studio Tools For Unity? The reason I ask this is because I'm using VS2017 and I had the same but updating to v3.6.0.5 of VSTU solved the issue.

    Made no difference

    I opened the solution from the unity Asset menu and now it works

    Sometimes you just have to re-open the solution to get things fixed on VS side. Happens in particular (or used to?) when adding/removing Assembly Definition references.

    For more nagging issues (particularly when a VSTU update supposedly fixes something, but doesn't) it's best practice to close VS, delete all *.sln and *.csproj from the project folder and then double-click any script file to recreate the solution.

    This happened when opening old or new projects
    Even when the solution or library was deleted

    And how did you do that? I can only find Tools for Unity for 2015 or earlier versions. In VS2017 it shows me no way to Update it. I not just have Junk in the Solution but 90% of the project scripts are missing.
