1+# Overview

3+This dialog can be found via the IDE menu *Run / Clean up build files ...*

8+
9+You can define one filter for each category:
10+
11+- the project output directory (See Project / Project Options / Compiler options / Paths / Unit output directory)
12+- the project source directories (See Project / Project Options / Compiler options / Paths / Other unit files)
13+- the package output directories
14+- the package source directories
15+
16+A filter is a semicolon separated list of file masks. The file masks support the globbing characters star ***** for anything and question mark **?** for any character.
17+
18+The project filters are stored in the project sesssion file (lps). The package filters are stored in the IDE's global options (~/.lazarus/inputhistory.xml).
