A cleaning device which has a flexible cleaning blade held by a holder with one end portion thereof so that another end portion contacts with a surface of a photosensitive member. The holder is rotatably connected with a frame about an axis positioned between the one end portion and the another end portion of the cleaning blade so that the pressure contact angle does not change even when the amount of flexion of the cleaning blade changes.
