Is there a good workaround for "make clean" with error code 87?

[Takashi_Kashiwagi]

Hi lpcxpresso_support

I have using MCUXpresso IDE v10.3.0. 

When I clean my project, "make clean" fails with erro code 87.

make: [makefile:143: clean] Error 87 (ignored)

The cause is that the command line for windows is limited.

It will work if you delete the contents of the Debug / Release folder manually , split "clean" in the makefile as follows or create "clean2",  but is there a simpler workaround?

# Other Targets

clean:
 -$(RM) $(CC_DEPS)

 -$(RM) $(C++_DEPS)

 -$(RM) $(EXECUTABLES)

 -$(RM) $(C_UPPER_DEPS)

 -$(RM) $(CXX_DEPS)

 -$(RM) $(OBJS)

 -$(RM) ******.axf

Hello,

unfortunately no there isn't,

as per Liviu Lonesco said there isn't a workaround, unless the one already proposed,

OK... I'll split "clean" in makefile.

A workaround is to shorten directory/folder/project names and also to make the project folder as close to the drive root as possible.
