Answer 1

You can force git to quit tracking a local file by calling:

git rm file.txt #warning, this also deletes the file from your filesystem

You can delete an entire directory (and it's contents) by calling:

git rm -rf directory

Answer 2

Git doesn't actually store directories. It just makes directories wherever it needs them to hold the files that are in the repository. If a new clone still creates those directories, make sure you don't have files you can't see (like .gitignore) present.
