Git deleted folder with filter removed

I want to delete a folder from commits in my git repository, so I use this estimate:

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -rf folder' HEAD
git push origin master --force

But there are no changes in my git repository, those commits that contain the folder I want to delete are on git repo.

So, I will try again, but it shows:

.git-rewrite already exists, delete it

I don't know what else I can do to remove it from all the commits that constantly contain the git repo folder.

To completely remove a file or directory from the git repository, you must make sure that it is no longer referenced.

In git, a file (or blob) refers to a tree object that is referenced by either another tree object or a commit object. Commit objects refer to branches, tags, in reflog, etc.

PS: --tree-filter, ;) git rm -rf --cached.
