### About file{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.0" %} and directory{% endif %} deletion
You can delete an individual file in your repository{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.0" %} or an entire directory, including all the files in the directory{% endif %}.
If you try to delete a file{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.0" %} or directory{% endif %} in a repository that you don’t have write permissions to, we'll fork the project to your user account and help you send a pull request to the original repository after you commit your change. For more information, see "[About pull requests](/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-pull-requests)."
If the file{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.0" %} or directory{% endif %} you deleted contains sensitive data, the data will still be available in the repository's Git history. To completely remove the file from {% data variables.product.product_name %}, you must remove the file from your repository's history. For more information, see "[Removing sensitive data from a repository](/github/authenticating-to-github/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository)."
### Deleting a file
1. Browse to the file in your repository that you want to delete.
2. At the top of the file, click {% octicon "trashcan" aria-label="The trashcan icon" %}.
{% data reusables.files.write_commit_message %}
{% data reusables.files.choose-commit-email %}
{% data reusables.files.choose_commit_branch %}
{% data reusables.files.propose_file_change %}
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" or currentVersion ver_gt "enterprise-server@3.0" %}
### Deleting a directory
1. Browse to the directory in your repository that you want to delete.
1. In the top-right corner, click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="The horizontal kebab icon" %}, then click **Delete directory**.

{% tip %}
**Tip**: If you try to delete a file in a repository that you don’t have access to, we'll fork the project to your user account and help you send [a pull request](/articles/about-pull-requests) to the original repository after you commit your change.
{% endtip %}
1. Browse to the file in your repository that you want to delete.
2. At the top of the file, click {% octicon "trashcan" aria-label="The trashcan icon" %}.

{% data reusables.files.choose-commit-email %}
{% data reusables.files.choose_commit_branch %}
{% data reusables.files.propose_file_change %}
{% danger %}
**Attention**: Since Git is a version control system, it always has your back if you need to recover the file later. If you really, *really* need to **completely** remove a file from a repository for some reason, such as a sensitive file that was accidentally committed, you should follow the steps in [our article about removing sensitive data](/articles/removing-sensitive-data-from-a-repository).
