git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
  'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch folder/large_file.ext' \
  --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

Need to tell git exactly where the file is located. Be sure to commit once this runs. And then add the file to .gitignore so it doesn't happen again.
