You're already in the project folder.

Try just 'rm -r .git'

brilliant, thank you Craig

by any chance, would you happen to know what this means: override r--r--r-- AuralisaM/staff for .git/objects/67/8e7a0654fe6555548d388fb459714341069d28?

i was trying to remove a folder ex: test_repo and received that message...
