I didn't found them, but anyway, I don't want this "folder" (?).

When I search for references of any variables, I am always redirected to files in this fodler. Also, all references are not found.
It seems the problem is there since I sue CMake 2.6.8.

Well, I definetely don't want of these virtual folders.

By the way, the folder icon is decorated with a white square. I didn't succeed to find this icon in the documentation.

The output location in project properties defines the search path for the (virtual) folder "Binaries". I have never seen a "Targets" folder. Perhaps this folder is created bye cmake or any other plugin. If you want to exclude this folder from any search results then mark the folder as derived (open folder properties, goto Resource and enable the attribute "Derived").

Do you have any idea of what the icon mean ?
Is it an standadrd CDT decorator ?

I have never seen such an icon. Is it a completely white square or is there an arrow in the square? See icon link_ovr from http://eclipse-icons.i24.cc/
