How to untrack and remove a deleted file and log when we check git status

Question

When we do git status below message will display, changes not committed are still showing for a file that is deleted. Will these logs will be there always when we do git status or is there a way to untrack and remove it. Please provide commands if there any.

git status
# On branch feature1
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       deleted:    new1.txt
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Hi@Shashi,

You can use the git clean command. This command will remove all deleted files. 

$ git clean -f
