If you know what the files are you can use set_directory_properties
with ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES.

       set_directory_properties
              Set a property of the directory.

                set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES prop1 value1 prop2 value2)
              Set  a property for the current directory and subdirectories. If
              the property is not found, CMake will report an error. The prop-
              erties     include:    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,    LINK_DIRECTORIES,
              INCLUDE_REGULAR_EXPRESSION, and ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES.

              ADDITIONAL_MAKE_CLEAN_FILES is a list  of  files  that  will  be
              cleaned as a part of "make clean" stage.
