Removing Submodule

1. Remove the submodule entry from .git/config¹

   git submodule deinit -f path/to/submodule
   

2. Remove the submodule directory from the superproject’s .git/modules directory¹

   rm -rf .git/modules/path/to/submodule
   

3. Remove the entry in .gitmodules and remove the submodule directory located at path/to/submodule¹

   git rm -f path/to/submodule
   

4. Remove cached entries; Delete .gitmodules before doing this, if it hasn’t deleted already²

   rm -rf path/to/submodule
