How to remove multiple deleted files in Git repository

I have deleted some files and git status shows as below.

I have committed and pushed.

GitHub still shows the deleted files in the repository. How can I delete files in the GitHub repository?

# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#   deleted:    modules/welcome/language/english/kaimonokago_lang.php
#   deleted:    modules/welcome/language/french/kaimonokago_lang.php
#   deleted:    modules/welcome/language/german/kaimonokago_lang.php
#   deleted:    modules/welcome/language/norwegian/kaimonokago_lang.php

If I use git rm, it gives the following.

usage: git rm [options] [--] <file>...

-n, --dry-run         dry run
-q, --quiet           do not list removed files
--cached              only remove from the index
-f, --force           override the up-to-date check
-r                    allow recursive removal
--ignore-unmatch      exit with a zero status even if nothing matched
