  2. Hope my suggestion can improve your trouble

    Option 1

    git rm -r one-of-the-directories
git commit . -m "Remove duplicated directory"
git push

    Option 2

    git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf path/to/your/file' HEAD
git push

    Using the second option if the first command can not delete the files
