| To remove a submodule you need to: | |
| Delete the relevant line from the .gitmodules file. | |
| Delete the relevant section from .git/config. | |
| Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash). | |
| Commit and delete the now untracked submodule files. |

I also found that I needed to delete the relevant file/folder under .git/modules/<mySubmodule>.
useful!
According to the git submodule deinit documents it should be a simple matter of:
git rm path/to/submodule
Seemed to work for me?
"If you really want to remove a submodule from the repository and commit that use git-rm[1] instead. See gitsubmodules[7] for removal options." - https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule#git-submodule-deinit-f--force--all--ltpathgt82308203
