Registered as a Git root, but no Git repositories were found there

android, git

Solution

In my situation I didn't have to work with git, I just wanted to run the project that I had downloaded and that was prompting me this error

On Android Studio 3.0 I clicked on Configure in the popup window appeared on the bottom right corner

This automatically opened a window [accessible as well through File->Settings] on Version Control tab. I selected the first item in the bigger list and I removed it clicking on the red minus sign

After this the error should disappear

Problem

In Android Studio, when I import a project downloaded from link, I get an error as "Invalide VCS root mapping" The directory C:\Users\username\Desktop\video_diary-master is registered as a Git root, but no Git repositories were found there.
