Usage

Format is

node clean-ue4 --p <path> where path should only be auto unless you use -u, then path can be anything.

You'll need one of the following options

Options

-i for intermediate folders -s for saved folder -b for *.pdb files

e.g. for everything

node clean-ue4 --p ../ -i -s -b

You'll be prompted to confirm the delete patterns with a y or n.

Other Options

Dry Run

To see what would've gotten deleted without doing it add -d which stands for dry run.

Auto-confirm

To auto-confirm delete prompt use -y

Unrestricted project path

If you want to redirect script to another path you need to add -u to add unrestricted path mode (not recommended).

Lazy mode

If you're comfortable with the files it deletes

do node clean-ue4 -x

I would recommend doing a dry run first...

node clean-ue4 --x -d

Very lazy mode
