Roy,

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?
