Hide or delete a non-existant folder from git terminal

Question

We set up our magento site in git.

When we run this command git status, we can see the following files as an image:

but as mentioned in above image "Marketplace OLD 3" directory does not exist in server.

We tried this command to delete it: git rm -r app/code/local/Webkul/Marketplace OLD 3 but we are getting error as:

fatal: pathspec 'OLD' did not match any files

So we added "Marketplace OLD 3" directory in server and tried to delete through git, but still it's not working.

How to hide or delete the above files from git terminal?

When you see deleted xxxxxx, It means you have deleted files but have not staged this modification. please use git add --update to stage it.

git rm will delete files and at the same time stage this deletion, so it will return error when you want to git rm not existing files.

git clean -fd shall clean the files and directories not on the server from your local directory.

which directory are you running this command from? post running this command git either removes unused directories and files and return their pathname or returns nothing
