An image forming apparatus is capable of effectively removing a residual toner on a surface of an intermediate transfer roller by a cleaning roller and a predetermined plate form blade without injuring the surface of the intermediate transfer roller. In the electrophotographic type image forming apparatus, the cleaning roller rotates in an opposite direction to the rotating direction of the intermediate transfer roller and is provided in contact with the surface of the intermediate transfer roller. Also, a plate form blade contacting with the cleaning roller is provided. Also, at least the cleaning roller is movable toward and away from the intermediate roller.
