Is there an easy way to delete untracked git files

Question

From time to time I have untracked files in my git repository and I'd like to delete them.

Is there an easy way to do so using git or bash or even another way?

Use git clean command.

git clean -f -d # will delete all untracked directories and files.

That is still no reason for downvoting the answer. It's the job of OP to make sure that the question is not already asked. – hspandher Jun 27 '17 at 13:15
