There is no globbing here.  The clean code is a CMake script, not a
shell script.  The make clean step is meant to clean files specifically
created by the build or specified explicitly by CMakeLists.txt file
code.  When doing out-of-source builds (which are strongly suggested)
having a clean step that removes editor cruft from the source tree does
not make sense anyway.

If you really want to do this you can create your own custom target that
runs a script to glob and remove the files.
