I would like to delete a another directory when I run make clean, but I can't figure out how to code it up in the rules.

I have tried 

clean-local:
  -rm -f del.dir

but that didn't work.

I also tried

CLEANFILES = del.dir

but that also didn't work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

    "but that didn't work" doesn't tell us anything useful. Can you edit your post to include error messages or any other output from `make`? – Jack Kelly Sep 15 '10 at 01:33

clean-local should work, but the command to erase a directory is rm -rf dir, not rm -f dir.
