I have a pull request opened where I have some project.lock.json files which I do not want to merge while merging my branch to main branch. Is there a way to remove thos project.lock.json files from my Pull Request?

Now, if you have write permission, you can click on the 'trash' icon for a file right in the pull request's “Files changed” view to make a commit and remove it.
The git rm command can be used to remove individual files or a collection of files. The primary function of git rm is to remove tracked files from the Git index. Additionally, git rm can be used to remove files from both the staging index and the working directory.
If the unwanted updates are in an entirely new file that you created, then you can delete the file from your file system, then run git rm <file path> followed by git commit to remove the file from the PR.
It does delete the file. It DOES NOT mean it will remove your changes to the file.
Please do let me know if there is a better way of doing this. This is the workaround I have found.
list remote branches
git branch -va
checkout the PR branch
git checkout origin pr_branch
overwrite pr_branch's file with other_branch's file
git checkout other_branch -- ./path/to/file
commit changes
git commit -m "overwrite with other_branch's"
push your changes
git push origin pr_branch
You need to remove file, commit changes and make next push to your branch.
If you want leave file in your branch, but not to merge it to main branch, you can delete it in one commit, then add again in another. Git allows you manually accept certain commits using git-cherry-pick. You can accept each commit except that in which you have added this file again.

I think you can simply override your project.lock.json with the origin one and commit.
