This article was previously published under Q155791 SYMPTOMS
You can delete intermediate files (files created during a project build)
created by Visual C++ by invoking a context menu inside the FileView of
the IDE. To accomplish this task, select the project in the FileView pane
of the Project Workspace window. With the mouse pointer over the selected
project, click the right mouse button to display the pop-up menu. In Visual
C++ 4.x, click Delete Intermediate Files. In Visual C++ 5.0 and 6.0, click
Clean.
Most of the intermediate files are deleted but you may notice that a few
remain.
Generating the default Visual C++ 4.x AppWizard application and selecting
this option results in four intermediate ( .ilk, .idb, and two .pdb) files
not being removed. In Visual C++ 5.0, following these steps on the default
MFC (EXE) AppWizard results in one intermediate file remaining (.pch).
RESOLUTION
If it is necessary to remove these files, the files must be deleted outside
of the Developer Studio Environment.
STATUSThis bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.
