How to clean up temporary files when opening a VS Code workspace? #14989
Description
I use Quarto in VS Code on Windows. Is there a built-in Quarto setting, CLI command, or VS Code integration that cleans up stale Quarto temporary files when I open a folder as a workspace?
If Quarto doesn’t provide this, what approach would you recommend?

I'm converting this to a Discussion.
I also suggest you update your post with information such as your environment, the version of Quarto CLI, the "quarto" VSCode extension, etc. as suggested in the discussion template.
