I m running Windows 7 with git bash console  The above commands wouldn t work for me   So I did it via Windows Explorer  I checked show hidden files  went to my projects directory and manually deleted the  git folder  Then back in the command line I checked by running git status   Which returned     fatal  Not a git repository  or any of the parent directories    git  Which is exactly the result I wanted   It returned that the directory is not a git repository  anymore
