Solution 1 - Intellij Idea

Go to Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Version Control | Directory Mappings, select the mapping(s), click [-] icon or press Delete to remove the mapping or change the association to None.

Solution 2 - Intellij Idea

Alternatively, you can delete the vcs.xml which exist under the .idea folder;

.idea/vcs.xml

Solution 3 - Intellij Idea

Just to add to the answers above. For one of my projects I had not only VCS (git) enabled, but also connected it to a remote repository. To start from a clean slate you can,

  1. Go to File | Settings | Version Control and click -. This will disable the VCS and list it under Unregistered roots:
  2. If you really want to get rid of that Unregistered roots: entry and all of the tracking information, go to your project folder and delete the ..\projectDir\.git\ folder also (provided that your were using git as your vcs)

Solution 4 - Intellij Idea

VCS -> Git -> Remotes... and opened Git remotes window. Then you can delete, edit or add the remote connection what you want.

Solution 5 - Intellij Idea

For me VCS totally removed this way:

"You could disable all VCS-related plugins in Settings: File | Settings | Plugins."
