It's a hidden file. `rm -rf .git ` shall remove any git-related info about such project. – Carlo Mazzaferro Apr 25 '17 at 05:27

1Have you tried this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1213430/how-to-fully-delete-a-git-repository-created-with-init. If yes, can you type **git status** to see if it's still a git repository – Christian Esperar Apr 25 '17 at 05:32

yes already tried that, I restarted my computer and I were able to delete it – Roi Apr 25 '17 at 05:42

You can open your `git bash` in project's directory and can use `rm -rf .git` command. – mallaudin Apr 25 '17 at 05:52
