Is storage space a problem on your computer?

When you BUILD and EXECUTE a project, a large number of files are created.  If you are  experiencing a shortage of storage space, you may wish to delete some files.  The only files that are crucial and must remain in storage are files with the extension .cpp (program code), .h (header files), and .mdp and .mak (files that organize a project).  All other files will be recreated again by compiling, linking, and executing your program.
