Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

After compiling a document there are a number of files (.aux, .log, .nav, .out, .snm, .dvi) that are created in addition to the final PDF/.ps output. I would like there to be a feature that would optionally delete these extra files. Ideally, I would like a "clean folder" button that would delete all non-essential files in a folder (regardless of whether they related to the current document or not), but it would also be OK to have a "clean-up" button to remove all such files for the current document. Another alternative would be a "build final" button that would build the document and delete all of the work files.

I realize that, while working on a document, there may be value in keeping these files around, but I would like to be able to easily delete these files after the final compile.

Who will benefit with this feature?

This would help clean up folders in which I have several different documents and make it easier to navigate when I am searching

Any Other info

I love using TeXstudio. I've tried several other platforms for LaTeX document production, but have not found one that suits my needs better than TeXstudio. Thank you for all your work.

There's a menu item Tools - Clean Auxiliary Files... and you can add it to Toolbar through Configuration - Toolbars.
