    You could either exclude it from the project, which isn’t really ideal, or you could use a post-build event script that would remove the folder you don’t want published. Alternatively, you could try adding something like this to your project file:

      <itemgroup>
    <excludefrombuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\obj\**\*.*"/>
    <excludefrombuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\Properties\**\*.*"/>
    <excludefrombuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\**\*.csproj*"/>
    <excludefrombuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\**\*.resx"/>
    <excludefrombuild Include="$(SourceWebPhysicalPath)\**\*.Publish.xml"/>
  </itemgroup>

    Take a look here for more information on this:
