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?

git reset --hard is a classic command in this situation - but it will only discard changes in tracked files (i.e. files that already are under version control). To get rid of new / untracked files, you'll have to use git clean !
You can use the git clean command to remove untracked files. The -fd command removes untracked directories and the git clean -fx command removes ignored and non-ignored files. You can remove untracked files using a . gitignore file.
Use git clean command.
git clean -f -d # will delete all untracked directories and files.
