To safely remove a git worktree, validate the data/local directory for critical files before deletion. This process checks for important information and prompts for confirmation to prevent losing local data during the removal.

When deleting a worktree, shared data remains intact because data/shared is preserved via a symlink to the main repository. This ensures that information shared across all worktrees is not lost during the deletion of individual worktrees.

Checking for critical files before pruning a worktree involves scanning the data/local directory. A wrapper script performs validation checks, issues warnings if local data exists, and requests user confirmation to execute the deletion safely.

You can prevent accidental data loss across multiple worktrees by using a safe-remove wrapper script. It validates local data, prompts for confirmation, and preserves shared data via the main repository symlink before any deletion occurs.

The best way to delete a worktree with local changes is to use a safe-remove wrapper that scans data/local for critical files. It warns you about potential data loss and offers safe alternatives before executing the deletion while maintaining safety rails.
