What is the process of completely removing committed files?

edit

The process of completely removing committed files depends on the version control system being used. Here are the general steps:

1. Identify the committed files that need to be removed.

2. Create a new branch to make changes without affecting the original codebase.

3. Use the appropriate command to remove the files from the branch. For example, in Git, use the command git rm <file> to remove a file.

4. Commit the changes to the branch.

5. Merge the branch with the main codebase to apply the changes.

6. If necessary, delete the branch used for the removal process.

Note that completely removing committed files can have unintended consequences and should be done carefully. It is also important to communicate any changes made to the codebase with the rest of the development team.
