44.4 Clearing out old files
before converting
By the time you are ready to start a production run,
typically you have already completed one or more trial conversions, perhaps
leaving conversion files and old output files in the project directory.
You can have DITA2Go remove these files before starting the next
conversion, so they do not slow down the process, and so obsolete and
unneeded files do not accidentally end up in a deliverable.
