Check the Documentation About git init

When you run git init, a new .git folder its created on your project directory with some other subdirectories for objects, refs/heads, refs/tags , since its a dot file (.git)its hidden by default, so if you are running linux do the following.

 cd myFolder
 rm -rf .git

If you are running Windows, there are bunch of tutorials to show hidden files, like this for example
