removing a repository

I am working in Git Basics. I'm working on challenge 2 of 3. The challenge asks me to remove the git repository I just created. The command I typed in was $rm -r which should remove the repository. But, the answer was wrong. What am I missing.

I haven't taken the course myself yet, so I don't know the question in detail. But if you just want to remove the repository and leave the working directory as it is, then you just have to delete the .git directory, since it stores all the repository relevant information. You can do it this way: rm -rf .git or rm -r .git

Hope this helps.
