CSS error not going away.

When we created the error, for radius variable, I found myself in a situation where the error in the CSS never cleared itself. It still shows up in the CSS file, which looks nothing like the scss file. Why is this? Is there another way to clear it without just closing and reopening the file?

Have you re-saved your sass file? If so, it should overwrite the CSS file. If it hasn't you could delete the CSS file and let sass recreate it for you. (You could also just go into the CSS file and remove the portion that is in correct and re-run your sass file to re-create the code.)

Well, the main problem is that I did not know that I had to watch the exact folder where I was saving my files, not watch the desktop where my folder was located. That wasn't clear from the video. Because I didn't know that, I wasn't seeing my css file update anyway, even when there weren't errors.

To fix this problem, I just deleted the CSS file and when I saved the scss file again the css file was regenerated.
