I did try the suggestions where you remove the site from the applicationHost.config file, in these locations:

IIS Express:

%userprofile%\documents\iisexpress\config\applicationHost.config

%userprofile%\my documents\iisexpress\config\applicationHost.config

IIS:

%WINDIR%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config

However, that did not work for me. I found that I also had to delete/rename the project's user file located within the Visual Studio project folder.

Example C# project name is: MyProject

The file to rename/delete: MyProject.csproj.user

It's an xml file which does have some stored settings about the web project.

I closed VS. Renamed the file. Opened VS, and the project loaded just fine.
