How to delete all generated binary files in Visual Studio 2008


I am not sure if the subject description is correct but basically this is what I want to achieve:

I want to have a way to delete all binary files such as .exe, .dll to be deleted at a single click. Perhaps there are plugins available that will let me do the same, but just wondering if something like that exists already.

The reason I want to do this is to make sure that all such temporary created files, which aren't usually needed for versioning a project, are deleted prior to making any commit to the repository.
