Can images on 'user-images.githubusercontent.com' be deleted?

Question

I accidentally uploaded an image I don't want to have on GitHub. I had thought that I had cut private information from an image I was uploading for example purposes, but the private information remains. It contains things like a hostname that I would prefer is not public knowledge.

Is there a way to remove that image from github's image registry?

I know it's highly unlikely that someone ever unearths it by checking all the possible destinations for the image on their server, but it would give me peace of mind.

Answer 1

1. Whatever the private info was, invalidate it if possible.

2. Contact GitHub. They normally respond quite quickly (I've frequently received responses in just a few hours), as they're obviously the ones that have the ability to remove it.
