1Do you want to remove files from your project for the future or do you want to remove files from previous commits because they contain passwords or some similar reason?– Peter TillemansCommented Jun 24, 2010 at 9:53

git rm path and then commit-push does not work?– pakoreCommented Jun 24, 2010 at 9:54

Remove file from repository and filesystem
git rm my_path/my_file
Force removing file
git rm --force my_path/my_file
Remove file only from your repository not in your file system
git rm --cached my_path/my_file

I think you can try this git filter-branch command to rewrite remote origin branch. So that delete those files you wanna clean in all commits.
