How do you clean all files in a project?

How can I tell the online compiler to clean all files and rebuild all files regardless if they have chaged or not?

Thanks.

I think it "builds world" by default. It always rebuilds everything even if you change just one file.

OK, thanks.

Kevin -

If you want to force a re-compilation even when files haven't changed, try hitting the "Re-Load" button on your browser. Then select the project in question and click Compile.

Wouldn't it be nice if it only re-compiled the files that had changed since the last build? I can't think how many times I have now re-compiled the networking stack, and the USB file system - without changing a line of either :-(
