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.



STATUS
This bug was corrected in Microsoft Visual C++, version 6.0.
