A trick I've learned to apply in several different contexts is this: Always
archive (zip) a previous version of any application you are developing
before starting work on the next version, and delete the original.
When developing new versions of my Cocoa apps, for example, I always archive
the source code and delete the old project files. Otherwise, I find that
Xcode is apt to index the wrong version's project files and open them when I
think I'm editing a file in the project for the next version.
I also delete old executable versions, just to make sure they don't get run
when I think the new version is getting run. I don't bother to archive them.
If I ever need to run them again for testing purposes, they are easy to run
from the release disk image.
