Sometimes you just want to get rid of all the local untracked files.
If you are sure of what you're doing (because there is no way to get back ! ) you can use

git clean

To check before , in a safe way, which files you're going to delete
---> -n option

git clean -n

To delete the files for real ( as we said, be careful !) ---> -f option:

git clean -f

To delete directories too, add -d option

git clean -n -d

git clean -f -d

You can run the above commands in an interactive way as well

git clean -n -d -i

git clean -f -d -i

P.S.

• If you're not totally self-confident, a safer option would be to run

  git stash --all
  

  to remove everything but saving it in the stash*
