'Unbind Source Control for Solution or Project VS 2017
Is there a way in Visual Studio 2017 to unbind a solution or project from source control? I can only find answers to this question for older versions which suggest going into File > Source Control however it appears the Source Control option has been removed in this version.
For older versions:
Solution 1:[1]
In VS2017 (checked in versions 15.8.9 & 15.9.10) and VS2019 (16.5.4) and VS2022 (17.1.3), goto:
Tools / Options / Source Control / Plug-in Selection
In combo-box "Current source control plug-in:", change to "None" and click OK.
The project will close; just reopen it and that's all...
To reach the Plug-in Selection section in Options, you can also use the search box; just type "Plug-in" and click in "Source control -> Plug-in Selection". In combo-box "Current source control plug-in:", change to "None" and click OK.

just remove all .git base files from project root folder and sub folder, after that restart solution and project you will get git free project
Solution 3:[3]
In Visual Studio 2017, open a connected project or solution then select:
- File
- Source Control
- Advanced
- Change Source Control
- Click Unbind on the project or solution of your choice.

It seems the only way to do this is manually removing files. This answer worked for me:
