Thanks Hans, it works. But there is a problem. The way you described it, the *.synctex file gets deleted as well, but I think I need it for Sumatra PDF to sync. When I used texmfstart.exe and --purgeall this didn't happen. Any idea would be great. Thanks in advance, Sebastian Am 07.04.2016 um 12:12 schrieb Hans Hagen:

Hi guys,
i am using mkiv with TeXnicCenter. There is an option to create a clean-up processor which deletes temporary files. Right now for me the options look as following: Executable: X:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin\texmfstart.exe Arguments: texutil.rb --purgeall This is from an old installation instruction from mkii and works great but it makes it necessary to install Ruby. Since I don't want to install Ruby if it's unnecessary, i'd like to know if there is a way to clean up files without mkii and Ruby elements. I thought it might be possible to use *context.exe* as processor executable for deleting temp files, but i wouldn't know the correct arguments. Sorry if I missed something obvious.
assuming you run context mkiv:
context --purge somefile.tex
will cleanup afterwards
or without file it will cleanup all left-overs
(btw, the number of runtime generated files is not that large for mkiv: a tuc file for multipass, and a log file and of course the result pdf file)
