Which VS files can I delete?

[codep]

Hi everybody!

I am about to zip quite a few MS projects (several versions, up to MS VS 2005) and I was wondering which files (file types) I can delete from project's subfolder without damaging project itself (so, when I unzip it later i can rebuild it without any problems). Of course the more files I can delete the better.

Thank you.

Do a "Build->Clean" and zip what's left perhaps.

You can delete the .ncb file. You can also delete the .opt file, although you might want to keep that as it holds settings that help with your debugging among other things.

I would completely delete the Debug and Release directories (or WinDebug and WinRelease or whatever they are called for you). There's nothing in there you'll need. Also delete any other build results directories if you build some libraries or executables to something other than Debug or Release.
