If you don't mind "Old Src" showing up in your project history, the simplest thing to do is just to delete it with "git rm" and then push it.
If it contains sensitive information or you otherwise need to obliterate it entirely from history, you can remove it with git filter-branch (please read the docs on that first :). Note that the old source will still exist in any clones that people have made. And it completely rewrites history, which will make you unable to share history with any other clones out there.
