Solution

To get rid of all unknown (untracked) files in Git, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.

  2. Navigate to your Git repository where you want to remove the untracked files.

  3. Use the following command to see which files will be removed (this won't actually remove the files):

    git clean -n
    
  4. If you are sure you want to remove those files, you can use the following command to remove all untracked files:

    git clean -f
    
  5. If you also want to remove directories, you can use the following command:

    git clean -fd
    
  6. If you want to remove ignored files as well, use the following command:

    git clean -fX
    
  7. If you want to remove ignored and non-ignored files, use the following command:

    git clean -fx
    

Please be careful when using these commands, as they will permanently delete the untracked files.
