Cleaning (Deleting) Output Files

When you build a target, the output files are placed in your Output subfolder. You can clean (i.e., delete) these output files anytime you want. You can do this in a couple of ways.

First, you can clean your entire project. This means that the Output subfolder (and all output files contained within it) are deleted. The next time you build a target, the Output subfolder will be re-created for you automatically.

Second, you can clean the output for just a single target. This means that the output files and subfolders for just that target are deleted.

How to Clean Output Files for a Project

  1. Select Project > Clean Project. A message displays, asking you to confirm the deletion of the Output folder and its files.
  2. Click OK.

How to Clean Output Files for a Single Target

  1. Open the Builds window pane (View > Builds).
  2. In the grid select the target you want to clean.
  3. In the local toolbar click Clean Target. A message displays, asking you to confirm the deletion of the output files for the target.
  4. Click OK.
