How to delete Black hidden folder in GitHub repo

Question

This is first time I am using Git. In Git, I tried to commit some files. I had to force commit as some conflicts was arising. But When I checked it online a Black folder was present there (In the given figure its ADME). This seems like hidden folder. Now I want to remove this folder. But don't know how to do it. Please help. Note:- I had committed all the files at same moment.

It is a submodule. to remove it do the following:

Delete relevant line from the .gitmodules file

Delete relevant section from .git/config

Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash)

Commit and delete the now untracked submodule files.
