What are these files: Project.ilc, Project.ild, Project.ilf, Project.ils

Hello there,

I am using XE c++ builder.

What are these files used for? They are in the same directory where the final output (.exe) is. 

Is there a way to `remove` them after - let`s say - successful compilation/linking?

They are Incremental linker files.

Turn off the option in your project Options if you do not want them.

Thanks Larry!

Had to do a little research how to `turn them off`.
Had to add /Gn to the Advanced->Additional options filed under the C++ Linker section of Project Options.

I just go to Project Options/C++ Linker/Disable incremental link and set it 
to "true".
