Description
I hit a case where the Perforce "quick clean" option does not remove all of my class files.
This leaves a class file in the /classes output directory, and when rebuilt, blocks the anonymous (MyClass$Anon.class) files from being generated, breaking the build.
I do not see any error messages that indicate the root cause of this issue.
This issues took me hours to track down and verify. If quick-clean had aborted the build when it fails, this would have saved a lot of headache.
Here is failing directory before the clean:
d---- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM firstperson
d---- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM orbit
a-- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM 16553 BasicView.class
a-- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM 4859 BasicViewPropertyLimits.class
a-- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM 2793 ViewElevationAnimator.class

a-- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM 1366 ViewUtil$ViewState.class
a-- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM 11575 ViewUtil.class
After the clean I get:
d---- 4/2/2013 4:43 PM firstperson
d---- 4/2/2013 4:43 PM orbit
a-- 4/2/2013 3:52 PM 1422 ViewPropertyAccessor.class
As far as I can tell, there is no reason why this file should not have been removed.

Which Perforce client and server versions do you use?
Each us ws has .p4client configuration.
Which exact command should remove untracked files?
PS. We use perforce with local proxies.
Server version: P4D/LINUX26X86_64/2011.1/428451 (2012/03/08)
Proxy version: P4P/LINUX26X86/2010.2/341251 (2011/08/05)
...
Broker version: P4BROKER/LINUX26X86_64/2011.1/370818
PPS. Perforce promises native 'p4 clean' command in ver. 2014.1

http://www.p4ideax.com/ideas/434/add-a-clean-operation-to-p4-and-p4v I use 2012.1, also with proxies in each office.
There is no single command to remove untracked files. The plugin compares what you have to your p4 have list (which is presumably empty, since you appear to be using a read-only replica) then removes anything that peforce doesn't think you have synced.
Yes, p4 clean support will come in a future version of the plugin.
You will probably want to ensure that the broker is not configured to prevent any commands from running. That's caused the plugin problems in the past, and may be what you are experiencing.
Update p4proxy 2010.2/341251 to 2013.3/740675 solve the issue.
Before update p4proxy (2010.2/341251) version was less then p4d version (2011.1/428451).

Again, this is working fine for me in production, so I honestly don't know how to debug it.
File a separate ticket for the .p4config issue. It's more complicated than you think, because your .p4config file can actually be named anything you want (as it is configurable by the P4CONFIG environment variable, which the p4 plugin clears when it runs).
