git—dangling blob/bad object after .git directory accidently added

today I encounter a strange git thing: I have setup a Project A, in Directory A. I copied another Repository B into that and ran a git add --all, committed and pushed, before I have removed A/B/.git, because I just forgot it.

So now all changes in A/B are ignored by git, trying to see some details of that folder within intellij throws Bad Object A/B error and git fsck showed something like: dangling blob …, what is also gone now, after I used those commands:

git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now

Here is a simplified diagram of the directory layout:

+A
+.git
++B
 +.git //added by mistake

How can I fix that?

can you try this

git rm -r --cached .
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now
git gc --aggressive --prune=now
git repack -Ad      # kills in-pack garbage
git prune           # kills loose garbage
