How to push changes to Github after deleting a folder

Question

I have 3 files, and one of them is a .idea file. I accidentally pushed this file to Github, and now I want to delete it, so I did git rm -r --cached .idea according to this post to remove it from git, but when I try to push the changes, it says

Everything up-to-date

How do I push the changes to Github?

I assume the remove command didnt worked for you. Can you try `git rm -rf your_dir_name` — Kunal Vohra, Jun 15 '20 at 03:30
@GinoMempin When I tried to commit it, it says "nothing to commit, working tree clean" — F.M, Jun 15 '20 at 03:36
