Clearing CCS4.1 file history logs?

I had read that page and it is not clear exactly what is touched when you use the -clean command line option. The Eclipse site was not much help either (see Running Eclipse under the "Using Workbench" portion of the Eclipse online help). Deleting the whole .metadata directory is pretty harsh if you are just doing house keeping on non-essential logs/histories. Is there any documentation where all the data Eclipse creates is stored?

Eclipse seems to a be a huge black hole to mere mortals who need a development tool and not lifelong side project.

Thanks,

Calvin

I'm not sure if there is a doc somewhere regarding all data Eclipse generates but if you want the information for the file history, the file of interest is

$(YourWorkspace)\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.root\.indexes

Delete the .indexes folder. 

Many thanks!

Boy, talk about getting spanked. I tried the -clean option only for it to render my whole workspace corrupted. I can no longer start CC4 while pointing to my Workspace.

Thanks Eclipse, I didn't have anything better to do than bow down and make (time) scarifice to Thee.
