Description

It would be nice (and useful for testing the PG) if the PG would get an option to clean the examples folders of all generated files.

Currently, the quickest option is to delete the examples folder on disk, and do git reset --hard HEAD.

As before, milestoned for 0071, but feel free to push back.

Research direction

The payload names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the project generator's handling of examples folders and existing options, then confirm the expected cleanup behavior with maintainers; done means the PG exposes the requested cleanup option and generated example files can be removed without deleting the folder.
