I will try that. Since I can't recreate the bad setup, it will be hard to confirm the this fixes it.

I figured that in addition to "clean" EDK2 has also "cleanall" rule
and it seems the last one works just fine. I built EDK2 and then tried
to clean it as follows:
<------------------- cut here ------------------->
arch=ARM
build=DEBUG
tc=ARMLINUXGCC
plat=ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-RTSM-A15.dsc
build -a $arch -b $build -t $tc -p $plat cleanall
make clean -C BaseTools
<------------------- cut here ------------------->
So you can see it's only 2 commands involved, firs for cleaning
platform files and second for cleaning BaseTools.
After that almost all built files were removed. In fact, I only have
next not removed files after "cleanall":
+├── Build
+│ └── ArmVExpress-RTSM-A15
├── Conf
+│ ├── BuildEnv.sh
+│ ├── build_rule.txt
+│ ├── target.txt
+│ └── tools_def.txt
Can you confirm if this method works for you?
