Configure Grunt Clean Task

I am using the gruntfile.js associated with Steroids.js. From my understanding, that file uses grunt-contrib-clean to clean up stuff between builds. That task effectively deletes the dist directory.

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to configure this task so that the contents of dist are deleted, but not the directory itself. Is this possible? If so, how? The reason I need to do this is because I have IIS pointing at the dist directory for testing purposes. However, the build fails because IIS locks the dist directory, preventing it from being deleted. That's why I want to delete the contents of dist instead of the directory itself.

Thank you!

clean: {
  dist: {
    src: "dist/**/*"
  }
}

In this case you need to modify the file at tasks/steroids-clean-dist.coffee.
