I have created a .gitignore file in the folder with the .git folder, but I still get the files I'm trying to ignore when doing a rescan of the repository.

This is the content of the file.

# Ignored files
*.suo 
*.user 
bin 
obj 
*.pdb 
*.cache 
*_svn 
*.svn 
*.suo 
*.user 
*.build-res 
TestResults 
_ReSharper*

What am I doing wrong? where is the file suppose to be located?

git-gui git

You need to make sure the file you are still seeing are not currently committed or staged.

If you remove them (git rm or git rm --cached), and then add them as private file, then they will be ignored.

You are locating it right. .gitignore should be at the same folder, where is .git folder located. File inside also looks correct. However, I dont have a comment line at the top..
