1) What does "Clean all targets" do and

It cleans all of the targets in the project, not just the one you have selected.


2) Why does one do this?


Because cleaning one at a time is too cumbersome if there are more than 2-3 targets in a project.


I guess my question is not too clear. Sorry about that. Let me ask another way.

What is the reason one choose to do this? Or, perhaps, what is the downside of NOT "Cleaning all targets"?

This is mostly for convience and providing a simple way to completely clean a project. Consider the case where you have a set of plugins used by an application that use a common framework. The "clean all" menu item is very useful.


That said, this menu item is no different than cleaning an aggregate target that has all the other targets in it.

The concern (in either situation) is that if you don't clean everything, that something bad will be left behind in the build products and intermediates that could cause problems.
