I have a 'Test' folder for trying out things using git which looks like this

source
├── src.txt
├── src
│   ├── asdfasdfadsfasdf.txt
│   ├── src-src.txt.txt

i used git clean -f within the folder using Powershell, and it said that "Deletion of directory 'source/src ' failed. Should i try again? (y/n)"

I put in 'n' then 'y', then deleted all files within the src directory but not the folders. See screenshot for details/proof.

May I ask why this is the case? How can I fix this?

For additional info, I am using my personal laptop and so I am the only user and admin.

Edit:

I tried running git clean -f -d and it doesn't work:

    There is a `-d` option to delete empty directories. See 2nd answer in question suggested by phd: https://stackoverflow.com/a/912737/86072 – LeGEC Mar 19 '23 at 10:50
  • Thanks, but it's not working though, I edited the question to reflect your suggestions – Pongbao Mar 19 '23 at 12:25
