Deleting example posts causing erros in build_site()

[washingtonsilva]

Sorry for the basic question (newbie in GitHub/Hugo/Blogdown). I am building my site with the academic theme (using the Blogdown package) and everything is going well, however, when I delete example posts files from the content/posts folder, errors appear in build_site ().

For example, if I delete the widgets.md file (an example post) and use build_site(), I get

> blogdown::build_site()
Started building sites ...
Built site for language en:
0 draft content
0 future content
0 expired content
9 regular pages created
14 other pages created
0 non-page files copied
1 paginator pages created
0 tags created
0 categories created
1 publication_types created
ERROR 2017/08/22 10:21:49 error processing shortcode "_internal/shortcodes/ref.html" for page "post\\getting-started.md": template: _internal/shortcodes/ref.html:1:73: executing "_internal/shortcodes/ref.html" at <ref .Page (.Get 0)>: error calling ref: No page found with path or logical name "post/widgets.md".

Am I forgetting to delete some reference to the deleted file?

The only shortcode I identified was {{% Alert note%}} By default, publications will be... {{% / Alert%}} I can not identify which file was referenced by the shortcode {{% alert note%}}, Is it really a shortcode?

Thanks.

the problem disappears after deleting all the example posts

I'm also facing the same issue. only deleting those lines fixed the error.
