After thinking about it a little more I agree with Valentin that the Make process is the right place to clear out the .class files. Idea already keeps a list of the timestamps of files compiled the previous pass and so could notice files that were deleted since the last compile. It could also detect the case where nested classes are removed from a class. In this case the source file hasn't been deleted but some of the class files generated from it should be.
