the other answers are correct if you are talking about Git, but if you're talking about just deleting a folder in a Bash terminal (like the one installed with Git SCM), then you could do it this way:

rm -rf folderName

The r option is for "recursive".

the f option is for "force" (so that it removes a folder even if it has files in it).

Here's a manual page that outlines how to use the rm command in Bash.

Try this:

git rm -r --cached <folder>
git commit -m "Removed Folder"
git push origin master

git push origin master git commit -m "Remove duplicated directory" git push origin master
