How to remove duplicate file tracking in Git

One of my files is tracked twice after changing the name of my folder.

Git now tracks the following two files, which are actually the same file.

Src / website / scripts / common.js
SRC / Website / Scripts / common.js

 git rm --cached /src/Website/Scripts/common.js git commit

- cached makes git a link to the version state, not to the working tree.
