Zusammenfassung:To provide a method for removing a residual toner which can reduce a residual amount of toner particles and can prevent discharge failure during recycling.SOLUTION: A method for removing a residual toner includes the steps of: preparing a toner container in which toner particles are expected to remain; and bringing a liquid containing a fine bubble into contact with an inner surface of the toner container. The liquid containing the fine bubble has a number density of the fine bubble having a diameter 1/7 or less an average particle diameter of the toner particles of 106 pieces/mL or more.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】トナー粒子の残存量を低減でき、かつ再利用時の排出不良を生じにくくすることができる残留トナーの除去方法を提供すること。【解決手段】上記残留トナーの除去方法は、トナー粒子の残留が見込まれるトナー容器を用意する工程と、前記トナー容器の内表面に、ファインバブルを含む液体を接触させる工程と、を有する。前記ファインバブルを含む液体は、直径が前記トナー粒子の平均粒子径の1/7以下である前記ファインバブルの、数密度が106個/mL以上である。【選択図】図1
