This is the case build artifacts (all of them - object files, libraries, autogenerated sources, etc.) are present in the same directory as the working copy. Normally, they are all in .gitignore. Heavy cleaning from build results require deleting all of them. But, if IDE and other locals aren't a level upper, they are to be saved from deletion.
