# clean

> Clean up Entire session data.

Clean up Entire session data.

```bash theme={null}
entire clean [flags]
```

| Flag | Description |
| - | - |
| `-a, --all` | Clean all Entire session data across the repository |
| `-d, --dry-run` | Show what would be cleaned without actually deleting |
| `-f, --force` | Skip confirmation and override the active-session guard |
| `--session ID` | Clean a specific session by ID |

By default, `entire clean` removes session data for the current `HEAD` commit:

* Session state files for sessions based on the current commit
* The shadow branch for the current commit and worktree

Use `--session ID` to clean a single session. This removes the session state and deletes its shadow branch if no other session still needs it. File changes remain in your working directory.

Use `--all` to clean Entire session data across the repository:

* All session state files in `.git/entire-sessions/`
* All shadow branches
* Temporary files in `.entire/tmp/`

Committed checkpoint data is preserved: the refs under `refs/entire/checkpoints/`, or the `entire/checkpoints/v1` branch in repositories that use the legacy branch backend.

```bash theme={null}
# Preview cleanup for the current HEAD
entire clean --dry-run

# Clean one session
entire clean --session 2026-02-02-test123 --force

# Clean all session data in the repository
entire clean --all --force
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> `entire reset` has been removed. Use `entire clean` instead, or `entire clean --all` for repository-wide cleanup.
