Refactor | Safe Delete

With the Safe Delete refactoring, you can safely remove files and symbols from the source code.

Safe Delete for files in CMake projects

When you delete files referenced in CMake commands, CLion performs Safe Delete.

Safe delete for files

Safe Delete for files and their references in CMakeLists.txt is supported for the following commands:

  • add_executable();

  • add_library();

  • set();

  • add_custom_target_command();

  • fltk_wrap_ui();

  • qt_wrap_cpp();

  • qt_wrap_ui():

  • set_property();

  • set_source_files_properties();

  • try_compile().

note

If the file you are going to delete is the only argument of a CMake command (for example, add_executable(foobar foo.cpp)), this command might become incorrect after deletion.
