Since they are no longer generated, those build products are no longer desired. And you don't see them in a fresh clone because they were only compiled in previous revisions. So this works as expected. What you will want to do is to run `git clean -dn` to see what `clean` would remove, and once satisfied that it's all good, actually remove the files using `git clean -df`.
