Web Interface

You can delete a file using delete button but you cannot directly delete a folder via the web-interface. The way to delete a folder from GitHub.com is to delete every file inside it.

Terminal

Steps to remove directory

git rm -r --cached FolderName
git commit -m "Removed folder from repository"
git push origin master
