I typed in the github link improperly. How can I delete the remote?

Instead of inputting .../my_really_cool_project

I typed in .../my_really-cool_project

How can I delete this remote?

You can simply just edit your remote origin by doing this:

git remote set-url origin git://new.url.here

However if you would just want to delete it, you can type this:

git remote remove origin
