Ah, separate build directory.  Try "make distclean" in the top source
directory itself in case you configured it accidentally at one time.

There also is the possibility of

git clean -x -f

But that's rather radical.  You should not be storing any files of your
own in the directory then because this will remove every file not
checked out via git.  With -d in addition, unknown directories will also
get removed.
