This is a very basic but I have been unable to find the answer on the web.
Is it possible to git rm, i.e. to remove a tracked file, from magit?
Thanks

Magit does not provide a command that does git rm (but if you opened a feature request, then I would probably add it eventually).
Meanwhile you can delete the file using some other method, e.g. using M-x delete-file RET <file> RET. Once you have done that refresh the Magit buffer using g and then stage the "deletion" of the file by moving to it in the list of unstaged changes and then pressing s.

Magit doesn't support git rm. Instead, delete the folder in dired, and then stage the change.
You can also use ! to launch any git command.

@npostavs Thanks for the comment. I see, so
git rm --cacheddoes not remove the file from disk, whereasgit rmdoes. Thanks! – Daniel Jan 11 at 15:45
