If you are a Comamnd Line Freak! You can also do it from your command prompt

• Start --> Run

• Type: cmd

• Navigate to the folder of your project (ex: cd c:\myProject )

• From the folder of your project you can type the following to be able to see the .git folder: attrib -s -h -r . /s /d

• then you can just Delete the .git folder from the command line: del /F /S /Q /A .git

• and rmdir .git
