An image-forming material removing apparatus capable of continuously peeling image-forming material such as toner from the recording medium while, with simple structure, maintaining high quality will be provided. The image-forming material removing apparatus for removing the image-forming material from a recording medium on which the image-forming material containing hot-melt resin has melted and adhered, comprising: an image peeling member provided with an image peeling layer containing hot-melt resin on the surface of a heat-resisting base material; a first heating member for heating the image peeling layer into a softened or molten state; a contacting unit that causes the image peeling layer which has been heated by the first heating member and brought into a softened or molten state to come into contact with a recording medium onto whose surface the image-forming material has adhered; a separating unit that separates the recording medium from the image peeling layer in a state in which the image-forming material adhered to the image peeling layer has been moved onto the surface thereof; and a second heating member for heating the image peeling layer separated from the recording medium into a molten state.
