How to remove new files from a directory?

Question

I'm used to do this when I want to rollback changes in a directory:

$ git checkout path/to/dir/

But now I need to remove files that have been created (not modified) in that dir, and checkout didn't work. What can I do?

Answer 1

git clean -f or git clean -f -d if you also want to remove directory. Source
