Qt Creator creates run configurations for all TEMPLATE=app pro files. Check what you active run configuration is in that case. If you regularly remove .user files, that setting will be lost of course, ending up with Qt Creator choosing one. Which seems to be the wrong one for you. > Creator's support for subdirs is flakey at best (see below) so I often have > to open the project itself seperately so that it is top level.

When in doubt, trash the file. When in doubt, save the old .user file, close Qt Creator or the project (to get the new .user file written), file a bug report, with attached .user files, and a good description of what you did, what your state is now (e.g. active build + run configurations), what should happen, and what happens instead. > And Creator's issue with failing to relink with changed code means that a > build is often not sufficient; you have to do a rebuild! If your code is not relinked (e.g. to static libs) correctly, then this is either a bug with qmake not creating the right dependencies in the Makefiles, and you should file a bugreport for project "Qt", component "Build System"; or it is missing/wrong PRE_TARGETDEPS / DEPENDPATH settings in your pro files.
