An image forming substance removing apparatus for removing an image forming substance from an image holding member has a separating device for separating the image forming substance from the image holding member by separating a separating member having adhesive force stronger than adhesive force between the image holding member and the image forming substance attached onto this image holding member from the image forming substance on the image holding member after this separating member comes in contact with the image forming substance on the image holding member; and a cleaner for cleaning the separating member by removing the image forming substance attached onto the separating member therefrom. The cleaner has a cleaning member formed in a roller shape and having an edge-shaped member which comes in contact with a surface of the separating member and is formed in an outer circumferential portion of the cleaning member; and a driving device for rotating the cleaning member such that the image forming substance on the separating member comes in contact with the edge-shaped member of the cleaning member at least one time.
