A magnetic transfer apparatus comprising:
- a magnetic transfer portion for contacting or separating a transfer disk provided thereon formed with a recording data to be magnetically transferred to a magnetic recording medium relative to a magnetic layer of said magnetic recording medium so that said recording data is magnetically transferred and for contacting or separating said transfer disk relative to a cleaning member for removing a foreign matter adhered to said transfer disk;
- a holding mechanism portion disposed in opposition to said magnetic transfer portion for selectively holding said magnetic recording medium or said cleaning member;
- and
