BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ recieving errors for things that no longer exist

[rs17]

I'm using TexmakerX

I was using Bibtex last night and was able to get it to work fine.

This morning I tried adding more sources. A few of the authors' names contained accent marks and it was giving me an error and not displaying properly in the pdf file.

I completely removed all authors with accents in their names, and I when I compile I am still getting errors referencing names that no longer exist anywhere, in my main tex file or my .bib file.

Specifically:

Code: Select all

Argument of \add@accent has an extra } B.~Sudakov N.~Alon, R. Radoi{\v}
Paragraph ended before \add@accent was complete B.~Sudakov N.~Alon, R. Radoi{\v}

I've tried closing and reopening the files and texmaker multiple times, deleting the .aux file, etc. I don't get it. Those authors' names have been removed completely from every file and it's still giving me errors.

Thank you.

EDIT: Sorry, maybe this is a problem not with Bibtex, but something else. I noticed on the pdf that those authors names are still there even through they're gone. And, it is in fact updating the rest of pdf when it should, I just tested that out. So for some reason it seems like it's using an older version of the bib file.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

An error can persist if it's caused by an auxiliary file. You already deleted the .aux file, that was a good idea. However, the cause might be in another file, such as the .bbl file. Remove this too, run BibTeX and then LaTeX again.

Thank you, I was able to get it sorted out.
