You can just delete the folder locally and then push, ex:
rm -rf folder
git add .
git commit -a -m "removed folder"
git push origin master

The problem is I have deleted the folder on my local drive which is at another location but the folder is still in my online repo, so I want to delete the folder 'Serverside Project' from my online repo then pull all the other folders and files that are on my online repo atm.
Oh I see, then why don't you clone the repo delete the folder then push?
@MauricioTrajano you can do it faster using git rm -r folder
I tried doing that and this is what I got: $ git rm -r Serverside Project fatal: pathspec 'Serverside' did not match any files
Spaces are treated as separate arguments do git rm -r Serverside\ Project
