Help removing files from the local Repro on your computer

[EfratSh123]

I started uploading one of my projects to github.
I had some heavy files in one of the folders, I already added and cloned them but when I push it is too heavy and so everything does not upload.
The question is how can I remove these files from the local Repro?
I also tried tracking them using LFS but it does not treat them as heavy files because they are already in the local Repro.
I put them in a .gitignore file but they are already in the local Repro so it ignores them and tries to push them too (and fails because of the size).
I would appreciate help with this.
Thank you very much

`Remove the files from the local repository: First, make sure the files are no longer being tracked by Git.

Open your terminal and navigate to the repository folder. Then, run the following command to remove the files from the index (Git’s tracking system), but not from your local filesystem:

bash
Copy
Edit
git rm --cached
If you want to remove a folder and all files in it, you can run:

bash
Copy
Edit
git rm -r --cached
Commit the changes: After running the above command, commit the changes:

bash
Copy
Edit
git commit -m "Remove large files from repository"
Push the changes to GitHub: Now, you can push the changes to GitHub:

bash
Copy
Edit
git push
Ensure files are ignored in the future: If you haven’t already, make sure the files or folders are added to your .gitignore file so Git won’t track them in the future. For example:

bash
Copy
Edit
echo "path/to/large-file" >> .gitignore
Use Git LFS (Large File Storage): If you need to track large files, you can use Git LFS. Since you've already tried it, make sure the large files are correctly registered with LFS before adding them again.

To set up Git LFS:

bash
Copy
Edit
git lfs install
git lfs track ""
Then add the files to the repository again:

bash
Copy
Edit
git add .gitattributes
git add
git commit -m "Track large file with Git LFS"
git push
This should solve the issue of pushing large files that were already in the repository. Let me know if you need any further clarification!`

I tried to do the above but the error still appears:

In my .gitignore file the problematic paths appear. And in the tracking file .gitattributes .exe files also appear.
thanke you!
