The worst thing an IDE can do is deleting files it shouldn't and destroy some
work. One place where deleting happes is in the 'clean' of builders. We do the
best to warn when configuring a builder (e.g. in the Java case when setting the
classpath), but some scenarios are only detected when actially doing the clean.

Problem is, the builder has no possibilty to communicate through UI.

One idea is that builders could offer a list of folders that they will delete.
E.g. This information could be used in the clean dialog, we could not only show
the projects being cleaned, but give a list of files that are cleaned and show
them to the user.
