You must delete the hidden .bundle directory, then re-run bundle install - otherwise it will continue to add the vendor/cache directory back every time.

But if you just to remove a particular gem, then remove/comment the name of the gem from your project/Gemfile and then run bundle.

To prevent gem files from being added to the vendor/cache directory delete the vendor/cache directory from your project root.

The next time you will run bundle install gems won't create a vendor/cache folder.

Later on in your project if you need the vendor/cache folder all you'll have to do is to create the folder vendor/cache again.
