title: Remove a file from Git in Visual Studio
body: <p>I am using Git with Visual Studio 2015 and I have a file that I want to remove, but I can't figure out how!</p>
  
  <p>The file is a WebStorm settings file (workspace.xml), which I am using for working on the JavaScript fiels. This file was included as part of a previous Git Push, but I missed my chance at marking it as ignored. </p>

  <p>I am happy to remove the parent folder: <code>C:\WIP\xxxx\xxxx\app\.idea</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have lots of experience with Visual Studio and TFS, but this is the first time I have used Git. I'm sure the fix is very simple, but it is eluding me!</p>
