Thanks to all.
May be I go back to a previous version.

Unfortunately, dear programmers, nothing works.
Might someone upload images with the right settings for compilers and kits?
I use Qt Creator 6.0.1 Based on Qt 6.2.2 (MSVC 2019, 64 bit)

I upload my current settings

Could not create directory "D:\work\build-D:workTheDataTheData-Desktop_Qt_6_2_2_MinGW_64_bit-Debug"

Is it really the path you are getting ?
Did you already try to nuke the .pro.user file in your project directory and configure it again ?

[John_Thess]

@SGaist The project, I created, is saved in folder named "work" in an external disk (D:\work)
I copy once again the Compile Output.

19:59:42: Running steps for project TheData...
19:59:42: Could not create directory "D:\work\build-D:workTheDataTheData-Desktop_Qt_6_2_2_MinGW_64_bit-Debug"

What do you mean by writing "nuke"? Excuse me, but Iam not a professional programmer, neither a native english speaker.
Thank you very much for interesting in my question.

[SGaist]

Delete the .pro.user file as well as the build directory and reconfigure your project from scratch.

The automatically generated build path is invalid as it contains ":" which if memory serves well is not allowed in file path.

That works. Thank you very much.
Your answer was very helpful and I' ve learned something I didn't Know.

One more question, please.

In my project, a text editor is included. In this editor, I included, among other tools, a button for font editing. A day after, I deleted this button, as well as the function, connected with it and the same function from the header file. I cleaned the project and I rebuilt it.
In the .moc file, the button still seems to be in the project.
What else is to be deleted?

[SGaist]

Are you using the auto connect feature ?

[John_Thess]

I use the "go to slot" command from the right click menu.
May be is better to write more code lines?
For example (in an other project of mine):
"QObject::connect(ui->changeIt, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(setText()));
//changeIt: the name of a button
// setText: the function I call.

Thanks SGaist...

[SGaist]

Do you have any slot named like on_<object name>_<signal name> ?

[John_Thess]

The part of code in the moc file is:
Case 0: t→onSavebtn_clicked(); break;
Case 1: t→newValues_clicked(); break;
Case 2: t→onExitRbtn_clicked(); break;
Case 0: t→onFontbtn_clicked(); break;
//the last button is the one I deleted

[John_Thess]

I read in a qt tutorial that it is better for programmers to avoid "Go to slot..." command.
Do you agree with this advice?

/being a new user I have to wait 600 seconds until I upload a new post.
So our dialogue should be interrupted/

It's known to be a bit fragile. Being explicit in your code will be better in the long run especially with regard to maintainability.
