+Running this task does remove the ``${``\ :term:`WORKDIR`\ ``}``, the sstate manifests
+and the stamps.
+However, it does not remove the :ref:`sstate <overview-manual/concepts:shared state cache>`
+cache files. Consequently, if no changes have been made and the recipe is rebuilt
 after cleaning, output files are simply restored from the sstate cache.
 If you want to remove the sstate cache files for the recipe, you need to
 use the :ref:`ref-tasks-cleansstate` task instead
