How do I remove new files from a directory?

Question

I use this when I want to discard changes to a directory:

$ git checkout path/to/dir/

But now I need to delete files that were created (not changed) in this directory and the check didn't work. What can I do?

git clean -f

or git clean -f -d

, if you also want to delete the directory. Source
