| 592 | <para> | ||
| 593 | Yes - you can easily do this. | ||
| 594 | When you use BitBake to build an image, all the build output goes into the | ||
| 595 | directory created when you source the <filename>oe-init-build-env</filename> | ||
| 596 | setup file. | ||
| 597 | By default, this <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#yocto-project-build-directory'>Yocto | ||
| 598 | Project Build Directory</ulink> is named <filename>build</filename> but can be named | ||
| 599 | anything you want. | ||

| 601 | |||
| 602 | <para> | ||
| 603 | Within the Yocto Project Build Directory is the <filename>tmp</filename> | ||
| 604 | directory. | ||
| 605 | To remove all the build output yet preserve any source code or downloaded files | ||
| 606 | from previous builds, simply remove the <filename>tmp</filename> directory. | ||
