# Untrack A Directory Of Files Without Deleting
In [Untrack A File Without Deleting It](untrack-a-file-without-deleting-it.md),
I explained how a specific file can be removed from tracking without
actually deleting the file from the local file system. The same can be done
for a directory of files that you don't want tracked. Just use the `-r`
flag:
```bash
$ git rm --cached -r <directory>
```
