Description Robin Stocker CLA 2013-09-27 13:51:53 EDT 
Originally in bug 338717 comment 11:

The 'Clean...' action is now there but it is not very handy yet:

- it is only in the 'Git Repositories' view
- I can't apply it on a project (or folder)
- the UI shows the untracked files as list which makes it hard to quickly
  clean a concrete project (or folder)

Minor details:
- the icon with the no entry sign looks a bit strange. I would use an eraser as
  overly
- the mnemonic is missing

Change for adding to Team menu and adding missing mnemonic:

merged as a04f8f83df45661037cb7976148ed4e5d3a4a01a

now "Clean" is available on projects and the missing mnemonic was added

My 90% use case for the Clean command is to clean a selected folder and all its subfolders. I still have to go to the command line and do

$ git clean -dfx <path-to-folder>

Unfortunately, Replace With > ... is also wrong in EGit, see bug 384602 comment 7
Comment 5 Patrick-Jeffrey Pollo Guilbert CLA 2016-06-02 11:14:35 EDT 
+1 Right now you can only clean a selected project, but not a folder or a file for example.
