Ignore `bin` in `node_modules`? about dotnetcleanup HOT 4 OPEN

Does this tool know to avoid the bin directories that are sometimes within node_modules?

It does not. It's not a scenario I've thought about.

I would have to come up with a concept to make this work, but I'm worried it'll be a complex concept, which will be hard to understand.

I typically do this in powershell:

"bin", "obj", ".vs" | Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Directory | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "*node_modules*" } | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Verbose

Technically, it's not hard to solve, but to expose the functionality in an understandable way in this tool is another matter.

It seems universally true that you wouldn't want to delete the bin folders inside node_modules, unless you were specifically deleting node_modules. Why not just hard code it so you never delete anything under a node_modules folder unless you're deleting the node_modules folder?

I understand if that's easier said than done. I tried to look through the code here on GH, but it's a lot of code for something that basically does the same thing as "bin", "obj", ".vs" | Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Directory | Where-Object { $_ -notlike "*node_modules*" } | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Verbose :)
