title: How can I exclude a target folder from deleting, when Publishing an ASP.Net web application?
body: <p>When I try to Publish my web application, It deletes all the existing files in the deployment folder and re-Create everything. I need one folder (say a folder named 'Notes') not to be  deleted.</p>
  
  <p>I can see on the Publish Web wizard to "Excludes files from the app_Data folder". But how can I do it for a folder that I create.</p>
  
  <p>environment:
  Visual Studio 2015.</p>
  
  <p>Publish Web with File System as Publish Method.</p>
