Folder removal from a project

[Deleted User]

Removing the folder from my development forces me to commit a checkin to the repository. However, when I attempt the subsequent checkout to my production environment, I can only delete, not remove, the folder. How do I remove a folder from a project without deleting it?

Please complete the following steps:

1. Remove the folder from the project in your lower environment (Development)
2. Remove the same folder from the same project in your higher environment (Production)
3. Delete the folder from the branches in your Repository
