RE: Git clean removing tracked files semi-regularly
I'm using windows. Have had it happen on 8.1 and 10.
"git status" shows "nothing to commit, working tree clean". I am using git version 2.17.1.windows.2

It would be helpful to know more about your environment. Is this only reproducible on certain operating systems (e.g. case-insensitive ones)?
What version of Git are you using? What does "git status" say before you run git clean?
