Catkin_make looking in wrong directory for header files

I am using ros kinetic ubuntu 16.04 on intel NUC. I put g2ofork in my workspaces src thinking it was a catkin package but I later found out it was not. I moved it outside my WS and attempted to use rgbslam package which requires the g2o libraries. When I catkin_make the workspace it fails because it is still looking in my workspace/src/g2ofork directory. I know this because catkin_make has some warning type messages

- - looking for PCL_COMMON
- - looking for PCL_OCTREE
- - looking for PCL_IO
- - Searching for g2o ...
- - found g2o headers in: /home/astrobotics/ros_code/src/g2ofork
- - found libg2o: /home/astrobotics/ros_code/src/g2ofork/lib/ and so on...

I know right now all the packages and g2o fork are in the correct places because when I use the install script provided by rgbdslam it sets everything up as I have mine now. The only thing is it creates its own workspace and I want to use it in the one I have been using for some time.

Is there any way to like reset the workspace before building it again?

Did you try deleting the build and install directories from the root of the workspace?

I replaced the build with a build file from a different workspace that is able to compile that has the same configuration that I want (home/astro/test/workspace/src/rgbdslam and /home/astrobotics/test/g2ofork) and it works. Only thing is it is obviously using the g2o fork from the test workspace.

when I delete the build and re compile i get the error

-- Searching for g2o ...
CMake Error at rgbdslam/cmake-modules/FindG2O.cmake:78 (message):

deleting the old build file worked because it was holding the wrong directories to g2o. My CMakeCache.txt had the old directories to the g2o library so I manually replaced them with the correct ones.
