Delphi Project Cleaner – Free Command-Line Utility for Cleaning Delphi Projects
Delphi Project Cleaner is a lightweight yet powerful command-line utility designed specifically for Delphi developers. It automatically removes temporary files, compiler outputs, cache files, and other unnecessary build artifacts generated during Delphi development, helping you maintain a clean, organized, and professional project workspace.
Whether you're working on a single Delphi application or managing multiple projects inside one workspace, Delphi Project Cleaner scans your project folders, detects every valid Delphi project, and cleans unwanted files automatically. This saves valuable time while keeping your source code safe and your project directories clutter-free.
