According to one of the answers in to Visual Studio (2008) 'Clean Solution' Option, the visual studio clean command deletes files of the following types:

*.obj - object code

*.pdb - program debug databse file

*.bsc - source browser database

*.ilk - incremental linker file

*.sbr - source browser intermediate file

*.idb - rebuild dependency file

*.lib - library file

*.exe - executable

Can additional file types be added to this list manually, and in that case how?

For C++ projects under 2012, 2010 and 2008 (non-express versions), bring up the project properties dialog (right click the project in the solution view and select 'Properties') and look under the 'General' section... you'll see a property called "Extensions to Delete on Clean". You can add your own choices in there.

I don't have the express versions to hand to see if the option is available there too, but I'd be surprised if it weren't.
