Clean Targets

We can use the xmake clean command to clean up the generated files during the build process.

Command format

$ xmake clean [options] [target]

Clean the target

If no target name is specified, all targets will be cleaned by default.

$ xmake clean

We can also specify to clean a specific target.

$ xmake clean test

Clean all files

By default, xmake clean only cleans the object files and target files generated by the current build mode (e.g., debug/release) and architecture.

If you want to clean all files generated by all compilation modes and architectures, you can verify:

$ xmake clean -a

or

$ xmake clean --all

Clean configuration

If you want to clear the configuration cache (re-execute detection and configuration), you can verify:

$ xmake f -c
