An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member; driving means for driving the image bearing member; latent image forming means for forming an electrostatic latent image on the image bearing member; developing means for developing the electrostatic latent image on the image bearing member with a developer; a cleaning member, contacted to the image bearing member, for cleaning a surface of the image bearing member; vibration imparting means for vibrating the cleaning member; control means for causing the latent image forming means to form an electrostatic latent image pattern for electrostatically attracting the developer deposited on the cleaning member and for causing the driving means to move the electrostatic latent image pattern to a contact portion where the cleaning member is contacted to the image bearing member.
