Visual Studio keeps generating multiple Strings#.Designer.cs files for Strings.resx

Question

I have a Strings.resx file in my windows phone 7 mango project (using the latest RC tools for mango). This file contains localized strings for my application. However, it seems every time I make a change and save it, Visual studio adds a NEW Strings1.Designer.cs, Strings2.Designer.cs, etc... each time the file is saved. The original Strings.Designer.cs is no longer updated, so I keep getting Ambiguity errors. Any idea why this is happening?

I also found that in Visual Studio 2013 (possibly earlier as well) that the Strings#.designer.cs name is being saved in the .csproj file. So even once the file system issue is cleared up, VS continues to use Strings# for the filename.

Here are some additional details: Why is the generated class for a resource file in a file with a different name?
