Overview

This dialog can be found via the IDE menu Run / Clean up build files ...

It shows all files of all output directories of the project and all its packages. You can define filters and delete the files. You can clean up all source directories too.

You can define one filter for each category:

• the project output directory (See Project / Project Options / Compiler options / Paths / Unit output directory)
• the project source directories (See Project / Project Options / Compiler options / Paths / Other unit files)
• the package output directories
• the package source directories

A filter is a semicolon separated list of file masks. The file masks support the globbing characters star ***** for anything and question mark ? for any character.

The project filters are stored in the project sesssion file (lps). The package filters are stored in the IDE's global options (~/.lazarus/inputhistory.xml).
