# grunt-contrib-clean v0.6.0 [![Build Status: Linux](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-clean.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-clean) <a href="https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-clean"><img src="https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/li28411ceq3n833d/branch/master" alt="Build Status: Windows" height="18" /></a>
> Clean files and folders.
## Getting Started
This plugin requires Grunt `~0.4.0`
If you haven't used [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) before, be sure to check out the [Getting Started](http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) guide, as it explains how to create a [Gruntfile](http://gruntjs.com/sample-gruntfile) as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
```shell
npm install grunt-contrib-clean --save-dev
```
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
```js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean');
```
*This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that [you upgrade](http://gruntjs.com/upgrading-from-0.3-to-0.4), but in case you can't please use [v0.3.2](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-clean/tree/grunt-0.3-stable).*
## Clean task
_Run this task with the `grunt clean` command._
Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt [Configuring tasks](http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks) guide.
*Due to the destructive nature of this task, always be cautious of the paths you clean.*
### Options
#### force
Type: `Boolean`
Default: false
This overrides this task from blocking deletion of folders outside current working dir (CWD). Use with caution.
#### no-write
Type: `Boolean`
Default: false
Will log messages of what would happen if the task was ran but doesn't actually delete the files.
### Usage Examples
There are three formats you can use to run this task.
#### Short
```js
clean: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"]
```
#### Medium (specific targets with global options)
```js
clean: {
build: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"],
release: ["path/to/another/dir/one", "path/to/another/dir/two"]
},
```
#### Long (specific targets with per target options)
```js
clean: {
build: {
src: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"]
}
}
```
##### Skipping Files
```js
// Deletes all .js files, but skips min.js files
clean: {
js: ["path/to/dir/*.js", "!path/to/dir/*.min.js"]
}
```
"Compact" and "Files Array" formats support a few [additional properties](http://gruntjs.com/configuring-tasks#files)
which help you deal with hidden files, process dynamic mappings and so on.
