While running make clean is not always necessary, it’s a good idea to run it before recompiling any of the modules, as it will remove the com-piled binary files from within the source code directory. You can also use it to clean up after installing if you don’t like to leave the compiled binaries floating around. Note that this removes the binaries only from the source directory, not from the system.
In addition to the executables, make clean also removes the intermediary files (i.e., the object files) after compilation. You don’t need them oc-cupying space on your hard drive.
