+Files in the deploy directory will not be re-created automatically if you
+delete them. If you do delete a file, you will need to run:
+
+ bitbake -c clean TARGET
+ bitbake TARGET
+
+where TARGET is the name of the appropriate package or target e.g.
+"virtual/kernel" for the kernel, an image, etc.
