public/build directory is getting bloated

[thomasverleye]

What version of Remix are you using?

1.4.3

Steps to Reproduce

• Run remix dev and change some files.
• Multiple files get generated inside public/build.

Expected Behavior

public/build folder should be cleared on each build.

Actual Behavior

Multiple files get generated inside public/build which make the folder bloated.
See #3156 and #2425 for reports on this.

Been testing the watch function from the CLI Commands.
It seems like the exitHook can't be triggered properly.
See: https://github.com/remix-run/remix/blob/main/packages/remix-dev/cli/commands.ts#L222

When testing the exitHook inside the dev function, it does get triggered, so I'm afraid the watch function can't be run async and maybe should return a callback function instead closes everything correctly inside the dev function.

Not sure if that's a solid solution though.
