How to project clean in Android Studio?

Question

I am new in Android Studio so I face some problem with it. I am looking for a way how to project clean.

In Eclipse I would do Project -> Clean -> OK but I don't know how it is done with Android Studio.

In android studio option is given in build menu Clean Project Build - > Clean Project — Mansukh Ahir, Feb 18 '15 at 10:29

You can clean your project doing this

Build > Clean Project or Build > Rebuild Project

Also you can do the gradlew clean

enter image description here

As @Kellogs commented :

Manually delete the [project]/.gradle as hidden folder as that one is the main culprit for large cleaned projects sizes.

and don't forget to manually delete the [project]/.gradle hidden folder as that one is the main culprit for large cleaned projects sizes. – kellogs Jan 21 '16 at 01:39

Cleaning an android project is quite simple just follow these steps

1. Click on Gradle pane,found in the top-right corner of Android Studio 
2. Click on your project,then Tasks -> build ->clean

Step 1

Step 2

Note Never clean your project using the Build -> Clean Project.Instead of cleaning your project it will increase the size of it.

Update clean has been replaced by cleanBuildCache in the recent versions of Android Studio.
