you can probably avoid .pdb file which is generated for debugging purposes but cant the .obj file
however i think it is possible to write a postbuild script which automatically cleans up intermediate directory (the folder where those files are generated)

#

you can also define a separate directory for those files that you mentioned if they are bothering.
it is done in project properties, with an option named "Intermediate directory" or something like that
