### Overview

Inside your `grunt.js` file, add a section named `clean`.

Due to the destructive nature of this task, we have implemented several sanity checks but always be cautious of the paths you clean.

#### Parameters

##### src ```string```

This defines what paths this task will clean recursively (supports [grunt.template](https://github.com/cowboy/grunt/blob/master/docs/api_template.md) and [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)).

#### Options

#### Config Examples

There are three different formats that you can use to run this task.

##### Short

``` javascript
clean: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"]
```

##### Medium (specific targets with global options)

``` javascript
clean: {
  build: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"],
  release: ["path/to/another/dir/one", "path/to/another/dir/two"]
},
```

##### Long (specific targets with per target options)

``` javascript
clean: {
  build: {
    src: ["path/to/dir/one", "path/to/dir/two"]
  }
}
```
