Clean Visual Studio 2005 Solution

If I have a solution with 10 projects. When I click "Clean Solution", does it just clear bin / debug in the main project of the startup projects or bin / debug in each project directory?

It cleans up every project contained in the solution for the currently selected configuration (e.g. Debug, Release, etc.).

To add to the other answers, if you want to use the application for a right click, you can find the source code of the clean source plus here .

This app does one thing. It adds an explorer shell menu to folders that, when selected, will recursively delete the contents of bin, obj, and installation folders. If you have a .NET project that you want to share with someone, it is useful to remove unnecessary things from a folder before you zip it up and submit.

It does not clean everything, except for all projects that are configured to create a solution in your properties. That is, if you have a solution that includes projects A and B, and at some point you can turn off the Build in Solution, Configuration Properties, properties for project B, the next time you clear project B, you don’t will be cleaned.
