Can I delete repository from GitHub?

Under your repository name, click Settings. Under Danger Zone, click Delete this repository. Read the warnings. To verify that you're deleting the correct repository, type the name of the repository you want to delete.

You can go to the main page of the repository and under your repository name, click "Settings"...

Repo Settings tab

...and scroll down to the "Danger Zone"

Go to the settings page of your repo and the bottom you can find the "Delete this repository" button under the Danger Zone area. Enter your repository name to confirm the deletion and click "I understand the consequences, delete this repository" to confirm the operation. The url will endup like below if you visit the settings page of you repository,

https://github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/settings 

For example, if your name is john and have a repository named "sample_john" the url would look like this,

https://github.com/john/sample_john/settings 

Warning: Doing the above operation will permanently delete your repository, wiki, issues, and comments, and remove all collaborator associations.
