Remove the file and rewrite the history from the commit you did with the removed file(this will create a new commit hash from the file you committed):

there are two ways:

Using git-filter-branch:

git filter-branch --force --index-filter 'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch <path to the file or directory>' --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

Using git-filter-repo:

pip3 install git-filter-repo
git filter-repo --path <path to the file or directory> --invert-paths
