No, final install files are never deleted by make 'clean', not
even if you 'install' in the _source tree_. What you suggest
falls out of GNU Make's territory, once you've installed, you
are the one responsible for those files, and GNU Make doesn't
keep track of them. [ Notice GNU Make doesn't even create
those install dirs, it's done manually by make_gnu.bat. ]

We have the HB_INSTALL_PREFIX (and HB_*_INSTALL)
options exactly to supply such an empty dir which can
receive the final files. I for example use to simply delete
those dir completely if I'd like to "clean" my install dirs.

All this is normal and standard make behaviour for most
projects (including Harbour's both make systems).

Brgds,
Viktor
