How to rewrite url in htaccess to hide subfolder?

My website is located in a subfolder (gng2) of my public_html folder. The below code from the public_html/.htaccess file works fine in the sense that typing my domain loads the website properly from the subdirectory:

## redirect to subfolder containing the  app.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !gng2/
RewriteRule (.*) /gng2/$1 [L]

My problem is that www.example.com/gng2/whateverpage also works. I want to rewrite/reroute these urls to www.example.com/whateverpage so that the "gng2" subfolder does not show up for example in Google Analytics results.

How should I modify the above code to achieve this?

Thanks, W.

You can use this redirect rule in gng2/.htaccess to remove /gng2/ from all URLs:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+gng2/(\S*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301,NE]

# other rules appear below this line

Please keep your htaccess file inside gng2 folder and try following rules in your htaccess rule file. Please make sure these rules are at top of your file(for applying http/HTTPS to URLs, in case you have more rules), also please do clear browser cache before testing your URLs.

RewriteEngine ON
## redirect to subfolder containing the  app.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
##Place your RewriteRule here.....
