your task can remove old files from its output directory. either by using <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_tasks.html#incremental_tasks|https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_tasks.html#incremental_tasks> or just wiping everything out before generating new output files

depends on your task. clearing output is easy. incremental might or might not be

I'd opt for clearing the output first then. What's the best way to do it? `doFirst` on the task itself?
