Visual C++ Directory/folder cleaner
-
Hi... Has anyone written a small app or is there some shareware app available that will let me "clean-up" Visual C++ folders before transferring files. I am looking for something that would find all .obj, .pch, etc. files. Basically it would search in the folder that I am in at the time and any subfolders before that and remove any compiler/linker generated files that exist only at compilation/link time. This would make my folders a lot smaller and easier to manipulate in terms of "zipping up" for transferring from one PC to another or for archiving... Thank you in advance Pierre

Normaly, "
Build / Clean Solution" is enough.
"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation." -- Caius Petronius, Roman Consul, 66 A.D.

Thanks for the help but that won't work for me for two reasons... 1) I have a huge amount of projects that still have all the intermediate files that I would have to open in Visual Studio just to "Clean". and 2) "Clean" says it deletes the intermediate files but it deletes the .exe file too There must be some application that will scan down through folders, search for intermediate files and delete them???? Once again Thanks

Why don't you make one. Iterating files and folders is on about the same level as coding in VB.

I usually change the "Intermediate Directory" to somewhere outside my source directory. ie in a project I'm currently working on, this setting is set to "$(SolutionDir)..\..\tmp\$(ProjectName)\$(ConfigurationName)".
