How do I delete a forked GitHub repo that's unavailable due to DCMA takedown?

Question

Does anyone know how to delete a forked GitHub repo that's been subject to a DCMA takedown? The repo is there (with a DCMA banner) but I can't do anything to it. I've tried clicking the 'settings' tab but nothing happens.

Answer 1

You can not delete that repository on your own. I also had a fork that's been subject to DCMA takedown. I send a mail at GitHub Contact and requested to delete that repository. After 2 days, the repository was deleted.

You can also check the GitHub article on DCMA Takedown Policy.
