593 Yes - you can easily do this.
594 When you use BitBake to build an image, all the build output goes into the
595 directory created when you source the <filename>oe-init-build-env</filename>
596 setup file.
597 By default, this <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#yocto-project-build-directory'>Yocto
598 Project Build Directory</ulink> is named <filename>build</filename> but can be named
599 anything you want.

603 Within the Yocto Project Build Directory is the <filename>tmp</filename>
604 directory.
605 To remove all the build output yet preserve any source code or downloaded files
606 from previous builds, simply remove the <filename>tmp</filename> directory.
