mdbook: Clean the directory with the generated book.
$ mdbook clean
try on your machine
The command "mdbook clean" is used in the context of mdBook, which is a utility for creating and publishing books or documents written in Markdown format.
The "mdbook clean" command is used to remove all generated files and directories created by mdBook during the build process. This includes removing the "book" directory, which is the default output directory for the generated book.
By running "mdbook clean", you can delete all previously generated files and start fresh with a clean slate for the next build process. This can be useful when you want to completely regenerate the book, update the build configuration, or clean up any unnecessary files or artifacts that are no longer needed.
