Eliminar un repositorio

Puedes eliminar cualquier repositorio o bifurcación si eres un propietario de la organización o si tienes permisos de administración para el repositorio o la bifurcación. Eliminar un repositorio bifurcado no elimina el repositorio ascendente.

Only members with owner privileges for an organization or admin privileges for a repository can delete an organization repository, and these users may be prevented from deleting a repository by an organization or enterprise policy. For more information, see "Repository roles for an organization."

Deleting a public repository will not delete any forks of the repository.

Warning

  • Deleting a repository will permanently delete release attachments and team permissions. This action cannot be undone.
  • Deleting a private or internal repository will delete all forks of the repository.

Some deleted repositories can be restored within 90 days of deletion. Your site administrator may be able to restore a deleted repository for you. For more information, see Restoring a deleted repository.
