It should and it does, unless you have untracked files in that
directory that you haven't told git about. Then removing the
directory along with these files will lose the files there,
which is a wrong thing to do.
A simple "rm -fr this/directory/is/no/longer/interesting/to/me"
would be all that is needed.
