"cleanall" means remove *everything* including the sources. Not sure why
you'd be using that, try "clean" instead.

Don't use "cleanall", you shouldn't need to. There is also "cleansstate"
if you really wanted to remove prebuilt cache objects but again, you
shouldn't need that. "cleansstate" will be better than "cleanall" though
from a downloads perspective.

Cheers,
