Clear bin/obj folders for Xamarin projects, as well as other temporary Xamarin files. Developer lifesaver

remove-bin-obj.sh

#!/bin/bash
# based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/755382/i-want-to-delete-all-bin-and-obj-folders-to-force-all-projects-to-rebuild-everyt
find . -iname "bin" -type d | xargs rm -rf
find . -iname "obj" -type d | xargs rm -rf

# clear VS4Mac temporary downloads
echo ~/Library/Caches/VisualStudio/7.0/TempDownload/
for f in ~/Library/Caches/VisualStudio/7.0/TempDownload/* ; do
    sudo rm -rf $f
done

#optionally you can run folowing to clear NuGet cache: nuget locals all -clear

This doesn't work if you have a lot of files in a directory. I've adjusted it to this to work:

for d in  /Users/username/Documents/*/ ; do
    echo "$d"
    cd "$d"
    find . -iname "bin" | xargs rm -rf
    find . -iname "obj" | xargs rm -rf
    cd .
done

@martijn00 thanks, I like the idea of putting in path instead of opening folder you want to clear in terminal every time.
You can use pushd and popd instead of cd, btw.

@martijn00 I've updated the snippet to include your suggestion.
Now checking only folders.

Nice. But it won't work on folders with spaces in the name. Consider the following replacement:

find . -iname "bin" -type d -o -iname "obj" -type d | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 rm -rf

This combines two separate find commands into one (using the "or" operator on find)
It also prevents xargs from failing (xargs treats path names with spaces as separate arguments)

This alternative is terser, and works fine on the Mac.

Very nice, @scriptam!
