# bundle-clean(1)

Cleans up unused gems in your bundler directory

## NAME

**bundle-clean** - Cleans up unused gems in your bundler directory

## SYNOPSIS

**bundle clean** \[--dry-run\] \[--force\]

## DESCRIPTION

This command will remove all unused gems in your bundler directory. This is useful when you have made many changes to your gem dependencies.

## OPTIONS

- **--dry-run**

  Print the changes, but do not clean the unused gems.

- **--force**

  Forces cleaning up unused gems even if Bundler is configured to use globally installed gems. As a consequence, removes all system gems except for the ones in the current application.
