Even if you haven't tracked the files so far, Git seems to be able to "know" about them even after you add them to .gitignore.

WARNING: First commit or stash your current changes, or you will lose them.

Then run the following commands from the top folder of your Git repository:


git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m "fixed untracked files"

# First save your changes to a branch on the remote repo
# If you don't have changes skip these three
git add .
git commit -m "commit message"
git push origin [branchname]
# Then remove all cached files
git rm -r --cached .
# Add all the files back in 
git add .
# The files you added to the .gitignore should now be greyed out in
# the file explorer window if you're using vscode
