Descriptor Commands

ue4 clean

Cleans build artifacts for the Unreal project or plugin.

Usage syntax:

ue4 clean

Description:

This command cleans any existing build artifacts for the Unreal project or plugin located in the current working directory. (If no .uproject or .uplugin file can be found in the current directory then ue4cli will emit an error and halt execution.)

Since invoking UnrealBuildTool with the -clean flag can sometimes have unintended side-effects when working with source builds of the Engine, this command works directly with the filesystem instead. The following subdirectories are deleted for both Unreal projects and plugins (cleaning a project will automatically clean all plugins nested within that project):

• Binaries
• Intermediate
