Magnetic head (51) having a contact face (59) for cooperation with a tape face (55a) of a magnetic tape (55). The magnetic head comprises a transducing structure having at least one transducing gap (57) terminating in the contact face. The contact face is provided with at least one cleaning groove for cleaning the tape face, which groove extends parallel to the transducing gap and has at least one wall portion (61a, 62a) oriented at least substantially transversely to the contact face and constituting a scraping edge (61b, 62b) at the contact face.
