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.
