I think env.Clean() is what you want.

Clean(*targets*, *files_or_dirs*)*env*.Clean(*targets*, *files_or_dirs*)This
specifies a list of files or directories which should be removed whenever
the targets are specified with the *-c* command line option. The specified
targets may be a list or an individual target. Multiple calls to *Clean*()
are legal, and create new targets or add files and directories to the clean
list for the specified targets.

Multiple files or directories should be specified either as separate
arguments to the *Clean*() method, or as a list. *Clean*() will also accept
the return value of any of the construction environment Builder methods.
Examples:

The related *NoClean*() function overrides calling *Clean*() for the same
target, and any targets passed to both functions will *not* be removed by
the *-c* option.

Examples:

Clean('foo', ['bar', 'baz'])
Clean('dist', env.Program('hello', 'hello.c'))
Clean(['foo', 'bar'], 'something_else_to_clean')


In this example, installing the project creates a subdirectory for the
documentation. This statement causes the subdirectory to be removed if the
project is deinstalled.

Clean(docdir, os.path.join(docdir, projectname))
