DeepCleanExtension

VS extension to clean all 'bin' and 'obj' directories created during project compilation.

The standard VS "Clean" command does not delete all of these items nor are they always recreated during project rebuild. This extension can be useful for solving problems with IntelliSense not recognizing methods or files (this sometimes happens with WPF or MAUI projects, e.g. "InitializeComponent()" method not found).

Once installed, you'll find DeepCleanExtension commands under "Extensions" menu in VS.

• 1: Run Deep Clean on all directories for current Solution allows you to quickly delete all bin and obj directories in your currently open Solution.
• 2: Run Deep Clean on all directories for current Project allows you to quickly delete all bin and obj directories in your currently open Project. Note that DeepCleanExtension determine your currently open Project by looking at your currently open file (startup project is not taken into account).
• 3: Select directories and run Deep Clean will list you each bin or obj directory and ask which of them you want to delete.
