Qt renaming path of the project

Question

sometimes when I rename the path to a qt project, it cannot be run even though I clean qmake and rebuild it!!! the path does not contain any space. and the project is completely correct and I know that the error is for path renaming , for example when I rename :

D:/abd/projects/LAND_2/Land_QT/...

to

D:/abd/projects/LAND_2/Land2_QT_SA/...

it cannot be build and says that some include file is missing(but the file is there!).

what is the problem?

I work with dynamic qt5.2 on windows 7.

Edit: when I copy the project folder to a new directory( a path upper than current path) then the project can be build and run.

@vahancho , No I use $$PWD for path and there is no hardcoded path, — abdolahS, Apr 16 '15 at 13:15
could this be caused by some shadow build mess? Have you renamed also shadow build path? — nayana, Apr 16 '15 at 13:17
Try to remove all Makefile(s) and run qmake again before build. — vahancho, Apr 16 '15 at 13:18

When you rename the path to the project, go to the project folder and delete the file with .pro.user extension. Open the project and Qt will ask you to configure the project. Choose the required kit, build and run the project.It should build successfully now

there must be some information about the project you're trying to build you haven't shared with us yet because this works all the time – Richardson Ansong Apr 16 '15 at 13:48

If you have changed path multiple times the .pro.user file is created multiple times delete all files with this extension and compile
