    To reset your Git repository and remove untracked files, you can use the git clean command.

    Here’s how:

    1. First, you can use git clean -n to perform a “dry run” and see which files would be removed1.
    git clean -n
    1. If you agree with the files to be removed, you can use git clean -f to remove untracked files1.
    git clean -f
    1. If you want to also remove untracked directories, you can use git clean -fd12.
    git clean -fd
    1. If you want to remove ignored files as well, you can use git clean -fdx12.
    git clean -fdx

    Please be careful when using these commands as they will permanently delete the untracked and/or ignored files.
