Zusammenfassung:A cleaning device includes: a plate-like cleaning member that cleans a cleaning target surface, which is moved with toner attached thereto, of a cleaning target body by scraping the toner with a part of a distal end surface of the cleaning member contacting the cleaning target surface; a body that has a storage space that stores waste toner that has fallen after being scraped by the cleaning member; and a transport member disposed in the storage space of the body at a position below the distal end surface of the cleaning member to transport the waste toner stored in the storage space along a longitudinal direction of the cleaning member. The transport member includes a non-transport portion that exerts no transport force in a direction along the longitudinal direction of the cleaning member.
