asp.net-mvc azure deployment build-process

My ASP.NET MVC project pushed to a Azure website with an extra DLL which is invalid. This is keeping the project from running correctly. If a new website is created it works perfectly. Cleaning the project locally and redeploying does not fix the problem. Is there a way to perform a "remote clean?"

This project is being deployed directly from Visual Studio with the publish menu item.

When you right click and click Publish Web on the left hand side there should be a settings tab. Click this. Then expand the option under File Publish Options and check the Box for Remove addtional files at destination. (This will wipe out whats already there)
