Accidentaly I pushed a commit including files that should have been ignored (node_modules and bower components directories).
As I was using many dependencies, the commit got pretty big and lot of data got uploaded.

I deleted those files in another commit and included a .gitignore file, however every time I clone the app all those big files are downloaded as the history of the project.

Is there any way to get rid of that? A way to definitly remove node_modules and bower components directory from my git repo?
