{% tip %}

Tip: If you try to delete a file in a repository that you dont have access 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.

{% 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.write_commit_message %} {% 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.
