Uploading UWP to windows store

Question

I am attempting to upload my UWP to the windows store. To do so, I am trying to create an App Package. I am following the steps described on the Microsoft Docs webpage (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/packaging/packaging-uwp-apps), but failing when I try to create the app package. The error I'm getting is:

1>------ Build started: Project: IrishRailTimetables, Configuration: Release x86 ------
1>  IrishRailTimetables -> C:\Users\c-raf\OneDrive\Documents\College Work\Year_3\Mobile App\IrishRailTimetables\IrishRailTimetables\bin\x86\Release\IrishRailTimetables.exe
1>LOGGERBASEDEXECTASK : ILC error ILC1104: The directory is not empty.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to clean solution and empty bin and obj folder and then close vs and open your project again and rebuild again then try to create app package — Shubham Sahu

Some times visual studio process existing or previous debugging files ,so next time when you debug existing files is not updated with new changes or unknown to new changes. **Error - Old debugging Files not updated with changes. so you need to follow these steps-

1) Goto Build > Clean Solution and Close vs.

2) Empty "bin" , "obj" folder of project.

3) You Should also view in taskmanager for any running process of .vs and close it.

4) Then Reopen Your Project and Build it.
