    <thetext>I would like to be able to use a tool or an option for the existing bitbake to clean up the build folder in a more professional way than &quot;rm -r&quot; for the selected folders.

There could be even a two-layer support with something like &quot;full/distclean&quot; which wipes everything away, maybe except the config or even that.</thetext>

    <thetext>There is something somewhat relevant existing these days:

    <thetext>Since we have rm_work and RM_OLD_IMAGE we have the start of this functionality. If we need more, we can open specific bugs for those issues but I don&apos;t think we need a wrapper for rm.</thetext>
