Rename a folder in Git Branch

Summary: Rename a folder in Git

Content (required): We have exported some files with large folder names to git repository, now when we try to clone the repository to local system we are facing issues. We are not able to clone them.

Is there any possibility to rename folders in GIT.

And any possibility to remove GIT folders using build shell script, entered git repository and branch name in GIT and in the build step, used the following script to remove the folder but we are not able to do so.

rm -r "Path/OBL Reports"

Can we delete git folders using build shell script ?
