Toolkit project delete wizard for customized deletion of project data

The suggestion here is for the TPF Project Navigator to provide a wizard to delete all physical files or a customized selection based on the file type.
.
The TPF Project Navigator contains the list of the users projects and is the main interface for developers to manage their projects.
However when a project is finished the user can only delete the project and must go to the RSE interface to delete the physical project files.
Like most programmers I prefer to keep the project source files *.asm, *.cpp and just delete the larger files such as *.lst, *.obj, etc
The suggestion here is for the TPF Project Navigator delete function to provide an additional wizard to delete all physical files or a customized selection based on the file type.
The user should be offered a selection of file extensions as follows:
*.lst
*.so
*.o
*.out*
*.err*
*.map
*.d
Also OLDR load ouput found in the build directory should be included but the don't have a file extension just the same name as the project i.e. home/sxts001/SN1001F/build/SN1001F

    The existing Delete Build Output (clean) menu option can be used to satisfy this request.
