title: Git still showing deleted files after a commit
body: <p>How can I remove deleted files from my Git repo?</p>
  
  <p>I've deleted a folder of a JavaScript library, which contained many files. I then went to commit the changes like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git add .
  git commit "message"
  git status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it shows all those files as "deleted ....".</p>
  
  <p>How can I make them go away?</p>
