------------------------------+-----------------------------
 When running the Grunt task `grunt watch` a file that is modified and
 saved should be cleaned from the /build folder and the modified file
 copied from the /src folder to the /build folder as part of the
 `watch:all` task:

 {{{
 tasks: [ 'clean:dynamic', 'copy:dynamic' ],
 }}}

 Currently the `clean:dynamic` task does not actually 'clean' (delete) the
 file from the /build folder, the `copy:dynamic` task overwrites the
 existing file.

 Workaround: Do nothing and continue to have the file overwritten without
 cleaning first.

 Options:

 1. Fix the `clean:dynamic` task to actually 'clean' (delete) the file from
 /build

 2. Remove the `clean:dynamic` task from the `clean` and `watch:all` tasks
 list

 To reproduce:
 * Temporarilly remove `copy:dynamic` from the `watch:all` task tasks list
 * Run `grunt watch`
 * Edit a file from /src and save

 Expected Results:
 * Edited file should be 'cleaned' (deleted) in /build folder
 Actual results:
 * File remains in /build folder
