Android Opening a GitHub Project

When I clone the url from Github into Android Studio, a pop up appeared asking "Would you like to remove the VCS root?"

"Would you like to remove the VCS root 'C:\Users\yofu1\AndroidStudioProjects\Fun Facts TreeHouse' for the removed module 'FunFacts'?"

Do I click Yes or No?

I think it depends on if it's your code or someone else's. I usually initiate git from the command line when I start a studio project, so then when I go back to android studio, the pop up asks if I'd like to add VCS root.

If you are cloning a forked project from someone else, you might need to remove the root, but I haven't had that problem so far. (I fork the project on github, then go into android studio VCS. It displays all the forked projects I could import into Android Studio, and builds them (or sometimes not, especially if it was pushed to git as an Eclipse project.)

So I should just pretty much always click yes?
