I am facing problems with git clean. Consider the following scenario:
git status -su ?? file_1 ?? xyz/file_2 git clean -f Not removing xyz/file_2 Removing file_1 I don't want to remove the xyz folder, but I want to remove the file_2 inside it.
Why is git clean is not working recursively?

Run 'git clean -n' to see a dry run; Run 'git clean -f' to force untracked file deletion; Use 'git clean -f -d' to remove untracked directories; Use 'git clean -f -x' to remove untracked .
The git clean command also allows removing ignored files and directories.
From time to time, git clean -xfd will not only remove untracked files and directories but also remove tracked files. After cleaning I can restore those tracked files with git reset --hard head .
If you have it in ignore, use git clean -xf. You can do git clean -xdf but that will also remove untracked directories. Use -n for a dry-run.
