This wasn't deleting the files for me for some reason.
There are also other files in the folder -- I'm assuming all can be deleted as we're not tracking this folder?

I've tested that quarto doesn't seem to use rm. So we could move the deletion outside of quarto 😌

Wait so the new version doesn't work for you either?

New version? Of Quarto? Or using -rf? Both? Then yes maybe? 😆

I believe this would cause problems. We initially used this in Sprout, but the problem is that there is a file in that folder that is needed and deleting it before building seemed to cause some problems. What was the reason you wanted to switch this?

uv run quarto render --execute
