<h2>Cleaning Projects</h2>
<p>In the Project Explorer, C/C++ Projects, or Symbian Project Navigator views you can select a project, right-click and select <b>Clean Project</b> (CTRL+SHIFT+-) to remove the object and make files, and output files. The files that are removed by this command include all the intermediate files created during compilation and all the executables and import libraries created by the linker.</p>
<p>If you select a project and select the menu option <b>Project > Clean...</b> a <b>Clean</b> dialog will appear (Figure 1). You can clean all projects or select individual projects to clean. This method of cleaning projects performs the same operations as the <b>Clean Project</b> context menu option. If the <b>Start a build immediately</b> option is selected, then the selected project(s) are rebuilt after the clean operation.</p>

<p>By default, performing a<b> Clean Project</b> complies with the global <b>Clean level</b> settings in the <a href="../../reference/wnd_build_prefs.htm">Build</a> preference panel and inherited by the project on creation. You can also assign project specific clean settings in the <span class="note"><a href="../../reference/build_properties/pane_project_settings.htm">Carbide Project Settings</a></span> panel in the <b>Properties for <<i>project</i>></b> dialog. </p>
