When you run the Clean command, Visual C++ deletes all intermediate files created during the build process, for example .obj and .pch files, as well as output files such as the .exe or .dll file. The location of these files corresponds to the location specified on the General tab of the Project Settings dialog box, under "Intermediate files" and "Output files".
