    When asdocx is used, it seems that a hidden folder is created (_asdoc) and used to save png files.
    The issue with that is that the number of files is growing as a result of my work.
    I would like to be able to clean (empty) such folders (_asdoc), either automatically or as an option that I might trigger.

    Hello Professor Eric
    asdoc keeps a copy of the stored matrices, results, text, and graphs in the hidden folder ‘_asdoc`. These files are used when users try to append new results to existing files. Therefore, these files are required by asdocx, until the user decides that s/he will never need to append to the same file. However, if the decides to delete these files, asdocx then offer the following three commands.

    1. Delete all files


    The code is

    asdocx clear 

    This code deletes all files in the hidden working director _asdoc.

    2. Delete all graphs


    The code is

    asdocx clear graph 

    This code deletes all png files in the hidden working director _asdoc.

    3. Delete all flexmat files


    The code is

    asdocx clear flexmat 

    This code deletes all flexmat files in the hidden working director _asdoc.
