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

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.

What is user images Githubusercontent?

And https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/ is used by GitHub to store images added in issues, PR's, etc., Hope it helps! UPDATE: You can also create an assets directory in the root of your repo and use a relative path to the image.

  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.
