The document does say that (a bit verbose though): When you are done with a linked working tree you can simply delete it. The working tree's administrative files in the repository (see "DETAILS" below) will eventually be removed automatically (see `gc.worktreePruneExpire` in linkgit:git-config[1]), or you can run `git worktree prune` in the main or any linked working tree to clean up any stale administrative files. -- Duy
