Visual Studio Solution Cleaner

Visual Studio Solution Cleaner is a handy tool for programmers who love using Visual Studio. If you’ve ever cleaned a solution, you know it’s all about getting rid of those extra files that pop up while you work on your projects. The built-in command called “Clean Solution” helps tidy things up but doesn’t touch the important project files.

What Does It Do?

This is where Visual Studio Solution Cleaner comes in! It’s a third-party app designed to clean up and shrink your project folder, making space for new files when you're building solutions.

Easy to Use

This tool is super lightweight and focuses on being simple yet effective. You can just drag and drop your solution folder into the app, and it will handle the rest. No complicated steps needed!

Keep Your Data Safe

The best part? Visual Studio Solution Cleaner removes all those intermediate files without permanently deleting anything. Just make sure to back up your project before running the cleaner—better safe than sorry! If something does go wrong, don’t worry; the erased files go straight to the Recycle Bin.

Error Management

Once you start cleaning, it’ll do its job quietly, and if everything works out fine, it’ll shut down when it's done. If there’s an error, you'll see a message on-screen along with an error sound—so you won’t be left guessing!

Fixing Corrupted Projects

If your Visual Studio project is acting weird—like IntelliSense not working or class views freezing—cleaning it within VS might not help much. That’s where this cleaner shines! It can often fix corrupted projects better than the default options.

A Range of File Types Cleared

The Visual Studio Solution Cleaner automatically handles various file types during cleanup. And remember, no file gets deleted forever; you can always restore them if needed.
