How to commit deleted file changes in Intellj IDEA?

I have a file called `sample_file.doc` and another file `sample_file.doc-meta.xml`.

Files `sample_file.doc` and `sample_file.doc-meta.xml` are visible in my Intellij IDEA.

If I delete `sample_file.doc` and `sample_file.doc-meta.xml` files from the local folder they disappear from Intellij IDEA not allowing me to commit the deleted file changes.

I want to commit the deletion so that the deleted file changes appear in the GIT repository.

Please advise how to commit deleted files in Intellj IDEA?
