Q: getting rid of exe's and obj

Hi

I'm using VS2003. Is there a way to temporarily remove exe's and obj's so I
can reduce the size of a project for email/backup?

Thanks in advance

I may be belaboring the obvious here, but you can accomplish what you want
by deleting the debug and/or release folders in your project before
archiving. They will be recreated when the project is rebuilt.

Hi Peter

Yep, that's what I've been doing. However, I was wondering if there was a
"clean up" feature which would do the same?

Delete the files and the next time you compile, do it in Release mode?
