Cleaning in LyciaStudio

Cleaning is a process of removing the building results from the output folder of the current program.

Cleaning discards all the building results (both successful and not): The next time something is built, it will be built from scratch.

We recommend that your clean all your building results before the new build (or rebuild instead of building) in order to escape any issues coming from differences between the files in the newly built packages.

When you build a program or projects (or - less often - working set or the whole workspace), all the compiled, linked, newly created, and processed files are copied to the output folder of the necessary project:
