From the project root or one of its subdirectories, run docinsight clean to remove output files owned by previous builds of the selected targets:

docinsight clean

Cleaning removes build output, not source documentation. DocInsight uses private output state written by earlier builds to remove owned files and empty generated directories. It does not recursively delete the output root or files that are not recorded as generated output.

If a target was built with an output path override, pass the same override to clean the files owned at that location:

docinsight clean --target site=Z:/docs/mylibrary

A selected target without an override uses the path configured in the manifest and does not clean an alternate build location.

Use --dry-run to simulate cleaning without deleting files:

docinsight clean --dry-run

The clean command supports docinsight.json manifests. It does not support legacy .diproj manifests.
