title: Is it possible to remove all .Net MVC components in a .Net Web Api application so that I can use AngularJS as the front end?
body: <p>I'm creating an application with a .Net Web Api project wanting to use pure AngularJS as the client side.  Since Web Api is built on top of MVC, it creates MVC specific and default items that I feel is not needed.  These items include the HomeController, _ViewStart.cshtml, _layout.cshtml, etc.  I tried removing them but it comes up with errors.  Has anyone tried to remove the MVC stuff out of the web api project and used separate client side front-end?  Is it even possible to remove the MVC items without errors?</p>
