How to get rid of the yellow warning icon attached to project in tree view

I'm having a persistent /!\-icon sticking to my project icon. It's annoying. How can I get rid of this? I cannot see another such icon attached to any object in the project tree branches, if I didn't overlook any.

The project builds without any errors.

Thanks. Unfortunately this is not what I have. My problems-window is empty and the text file encoding is already set to UTF-8. Must be something different. I definitely had a reason to be flagged as warning at some point in time but I fixed this and this /!\-Icon sticks there.

Any other idea where I could look?

 

EDIT: Sorry, I overlooked that the description column of the problems window was occluded. Now I see there are warnings that some include PATHs are no longer existing. I added some include paths (USB folder) and later I removed that again forgetting to also remove the references to the include paths. Will do that now and report back.

 

 

EDIT: Yes, it was that. The dangling include (USB) paths. Removing them also was a bit unintuitive.
Had to go into properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols and delete the Include directories no longer valid. Anyway, problem solved. So the solution is to look into the "problems" view.

Does the "Problems" tab show anything?

You probably have this:
