    "body": "## Symptom\nAfter removing or moving several App Router pages and API routes (`git rm app/x/page.tsx app/api/x/route.ts`, `git mv ...`), `tsc --noEmit` / `next build` fails even though no source file references the deleted routes:\n\n```\n.next/dev/types/validator.ts(62,39): error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../../app/orders/ship/page.js' or its corresponding type declarations.\n.next/types/validator.ts(62,39): error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../app/orders/ship/page.js' or its corresponding type declarations.\n```\n\n## Cause\nNext.js generates route type validators under `.next/types/` (and `.next/dev/types/` for `next dev`), and `tsconfig.json` includes `.next/types/**/*.ts`. Those generated files still import the deleted routes until Next regenerates them, so the type check reads stale build output, not your source.\n\n## Fix\nDelete the generated type folders (and any now-empty route directories) and rebuild:\n\n```bash\nrmdir app/orders/ship 2>/dev/null\nrm -rf .next/types .next/dev/types\nnpx next build\n```\n\nNo need to wipe the whole `.next` cache.\n\n## Verify\nThe next `next build` completed cleanly, the route list showed only the surviving page, and all pages returned 200 locally.",
