If you want to fully remove a submodule, the following things have to done :

• remove the submodule entry from the .gitmodules file in the root of the main git repo
• remove the variables associated to the submodule
• remove the description in ./git/modules folder
• remove the folder containing the submodule

Assume that the submodule is called submod and that it's path relative to the root of the git repo is external/gits

Open a terminal in the root of the git repo, and edit the .gitmodules file to remove the entry

[submodule "external/gits/submod"]
path = external/gits/submod
url = https://github.com/user/submod.git
