I use --amend everyday to squash changes into the last commit. If you look into the last commit on the branch after doing git --amend, you'll see that the file you didn't want to add has become part of the commit. :-)
git rm --cached would indeed work too, however it is the "old way" of doing it. If you have a recent git version, when you run git status, it would suggest to use git restore --staged.
