It's because the project is free to create anything under project directory 
during build action after user customization and we anticipate that clean action 
brings the project to some known initial state when we know what to delete.

Well, it would be good, but ... we have number of project types, each project 
type can provide own delete action with own panel, because each project type 
might have different files to delete or even do some other actions as part of 
delete. It would be quite difficult (if not impossible) to merge this into some 
easy and simple UI.
