Answer 1

Make .gitignore file in your project directory.

.gitignore file will look like this

/Folder_name

Type in below commands in the terminal or equivalent:

git rm -r --cached Folder_name (remove the directory from git but not delete it from the filesystem/locally)

git commit -m "remove unused directory"

git push origin  (can be master or develop or others)
