two ways can do it.
ONE:
in your local directory operation.
git rm FILENAME
git commit -m "WRITE SOMETHING"
git push origin master #or your using branch

TWO:
in your local directory type flow:
git remote rm FILENAME
git commite -m "WRITE SOMETHING"
git push origin master #or your using branch

If you pushed stuff that you don't want to show up in your history (passwords, swearing etc.), you can also re-write the history. But this should only be an emergency measure and can make people angry at you if they already pulled from that branch. Locally you can use git rebase -i to modify your history, and then push it with git push REMOTE +BRANCH (where REMOTE and BRANCH refer to the remote and branch names, respectively). If you want to delete the remote branch, use git push REMOTE :BRANCH. Notice that depending on your rights on the server (as e.g. implemented by gitolite), you are not able to rewrite the history on the server.

If it is passwords that you pushed, make sure to change them nonetheless, people might already have seen them!
