I have this structure in my git repo

 Proj1/Dir1 proj1/Dir2 proj1/ Dir3

I want to delete dir1 and dir2 from the repo also from all history.

How can I achieve that?

    There's probably no good way to do that for a large or complex repo. One way might be to create a new master/base branch without those directories, then rebase your other branches against it. Commented Oct 2, 2014 at 18:52

How about this?

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f -r --dry-run Proj1/Dir1 proj1/Dir2' HEAD

remove the --dry-run part to do it for real.
