# `mix precompiled.clean`
[🔗](https://github.com/TomHoenderdos/elixir_precompiled/blob/v0.2.1/lib/mix/tasks/precompiled.clean.ex#L5)

Removes every dependency `precompiled` installed in the current
`_build` (this `MIX_ENV` and `MIX_TARGET`), so the next `mix compile`
compiles them from source (or installs them again, when the library is
on). Only build dirs that carry the provenance file an install writes
are removed; a dependency Mix compiled is never touched.

    mix precompiled.clean           # this build's installs
    mix precompiled.clean --cache   # also the downloaded files, manifests and scans

Trust state (batch sequence, adopted roots) is never removed.
