An image forming apparatus capable of removing leaked toner includes: a
toner cartridge storing a toner and having a toner supply window for
supplying the toner; a housing for detachably accommodating the toner
cartridge; and a toner receptacle provided to the housing receiving the
toner leaking from the toner cartridge when the toner cartridge is
detached from the housing. The image forming apparatus also includes a
toner remover to remove the toner adhered to the outer periphery of the

image forming apparatus are not polluted, and the components of the image
forming apparatus function properly.
