Removing untracked files/directories in git
To remove untracked files/directories, use git-clean.
Running git-clean prints out what it would remove, without actually removing them.
-f flag removes the files and -d flag removes empty directories
So to remove untracked files and directories:
git clean -df
To also remove ignored files:
git clean -dfx
