It's silly I have to tell it to make part of the build process to clean old artifacts or it'll just default to keeping endless folders of test builds and old builds without cleaning them up. The same seems to usually be true with documentation and reference material.

There was a REALLY annoying period where I'd give it full control of a VM and a dedicated project folder and it'd continually refuse to delete anything I asked it to or just silently archive it, even though everything was already in a git repo. It seems to have gotten somewhat better about that now, but I still include "create cleanup scripts to delete unnecessary project content" in the default steps before doing the final merge on a change.
