Can you post the content of your Gruntfile please?

[wondger]

module.exports = function(grunt) {
    grunt.initConfig({
        pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
        clean: {
            options: {
                force: true
            },
            build: ['build/js/2.0/login']
        }
    });

    // Load plugins
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean');

    // Default task(s).
    grunt.registerTask('default', ['clean']);

};

tkellen, it looks very simple.

@wondger Could you run grunt clean -v --stack and post your output? Your config should work. Thanks!

Closing as this works for me. Please see my output below that shows the force option is being passed successfully.

@wondger If you're still running into this issue could you please run grunt clean -v? This enables verbose and will show you the actual error. The error Clean operation failed. occurs whenever grunt.file.delete has failed to delete the given file. Likely a permission issue or something else preventing the file from being deleted. Thanks!

$ grunt clean
Running "clean:short" (clean) task
Cleaning "tmp/sample_short"...{ force: true }
OK

Running "clean:long" (clean) task
Cleaning "tmp/sample_long"...{ force: true }
OK
