The output directory where Visual Studio places the compiled executable file, there are three additional file types *.exp, *.lib, .pdb. I do not need these files, and I would like the compiler not to create them.
This is what my output directory looks like. I only need a file *.exe.

What are these additional files for? How can I disable their creation? If they are necessary for the build process, is there a way to automatically delete them after creating the executable?
I am using Visual Studio 2012. If you need more information, please comment.
