Cleanup populate_sdk artefacts

Hi all,

I'm working with a yocto Dunfell (3.1) on my embedded system.
I successfully built the SDK install script for my image recipe with: bitbake
my-image -c populate_sdk
However, the other day when I stopped the SDK generation before completing
(CTRL-C) and resumed it a couple of minutes after, bitbake was not able to
finish generating the SDK, saying:

*Exception: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/home/yoctouser/build/tmp/work/colibri_imx7_emmc-tdx-linux-gnueabi/my-image/1.0-r1/sdk/image/opt/machine-fb/5.0.0-devel-20200924080856+build.0/sysroots/x86_64-tdxsdk-linux/usr/lib/locale'*

I was able to determine that bitbake uses the variable DISTRO_VERSION for
building some paths during the generation.
My DISTRO_VERSION changes for each generation because it is built on
starting time generation.
I had to remove all my work folder in order for bitbake to restart the SDK
generation from scratch... Which takes some time...

Do you know if there is a way to cleanup the SDK generation properly in
case of a halt in the middle of the generation ?

Thank you for your time, have a great day!

bitbake <target name> -c clean

should clean up that kind of issue and allow it to continue.

Cheers,
