Description
Summary
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/distutils-legacy.html
I was reading the setuptools documentation and couldn’t find the mapping of distutils’ clean command to the setuptools equivalent.
I know that setuptools to some extent cleanup the build output after each build process but want it to clearly state that if we can already don’t have to mind the cleanup process, or how to maintain the same behaviours with setuptools for those trying to migrate from distutils.

Research direction
Start with the deprecated distutils documentation page linked in the issue, focusing on the clean command and its setuptools migration guidance. Compare the documented behavior with the requested distutils equivalent, then update the page so readers can tell whether cleanup is automatic or how to preserve the same behavior. Done means the mapping and cleanup instructions are explicit.
