I did not use an out of source build, so that of course would simplify things, but I still think that a command like:<br>
<br>
cmake erase<br>
<br>
Would be convenient to clear all cmake generated files and roll-back to the scenario *before* 'cmake .' Yes, I can remove files manually but the user is not supposed to know exactly which files cmake generates. Different versions might change generated files or add hidden files.<div>

I am going to assume then that you DID in fact use an out of source build for your project. Assuming that build directory is called "Build" the command is:<br>
<br>
rm -rf Build/ (Linux/Unix/OS X)<br>
Use Windows Explorer to delete the entire build tree on Windows.<br>
<br>
Those are the commands.<br>
<br>
Granted they are not the most obvious but they do work. If you have suggestions let's hear them..<br>

If you used an out of source build then you can simply delete the build directory. If you did NOT use an out-of-source build then you are going to have to hand pick through your source directories to find everything that does not belong.<br>
<br>
With that said CMakeCache.txt is the first obvious choice for deletion. Next comes CMakeFiles and CMakeTemp. Not sure about anything else.<br>
<br>
Also, CMakeLists.txt is the _project_ file. Deleting this file is the same as deleting the .sln on windows, the xcode project file on OS X or the main Makefile on Linux/Unix. Are you sure you really want to remove CMakeLists.txt file?<br>

<br>
No you're right, the CMakeLists.txt is the only file I need to keep. In facts I store that under source control.<br>
<br>
I think it would be useful to have a command to clobber the whole cmake hierarchy for when you need to prepare a distribution, change the compiler settings or clear some conflicts in the build tree. It does happen, especially during the project initial setup.<br>

I was wondering if there is a standard command to clear all cmake files, including CMakeLists.txt, CMakeCache.txt, the CMakeFiles directory and cmake_install.cmake?<br>
