This is an improvement on my Gist vsclean.sh. It does the same thing and more, but the commands are simpler.

While developing Xamarin using VisualStudio for Mac, my team and I quickly became aware that VisualStudio's Clean function is unreliable. It never seemed to fully remove all of the object files and it never removed locally cached packages. This script nukes all of it and allows you to rebuild your project from a clean state.
