I could be wrong, but I don't think I even saw the .SUO file, until I closed VisualStudio.

Just want to add - imperative that you close VS before deleting it. Deleting the file while VS is still open, then closing and reopening has NO effect. Must close first!

The above comment from @wizloc did it for me. To solve the problem for me, I had to close all open instances of VS (Visual Studio), before deleting the .suo file. When I deleted the .suo file with VS instances still open, closing and opening the solution did not solve the problem for me. Also, it's worth adding that I got this issue while trying to add a new project to my solution.
