Removing CNAME on Github

cname

How do I stop my Github webpage from redirecting to an expired CNAME URL? I know it takes time, but my Github page has not stopped redirecting even after 1.5 days! I am asking to find out if there's any step I missed (all I did was delete the CNAME file). If there's no step I'm missing, how long does it usually take to stop redirecting? I really need my page to be available soon since it is recruiting season. Please help!

How do I add a CNAME to GitHub?

On your site's repository, click the settings tab . Under custom domain, type your custom domain and save. GitHub will automatically create a commit with a CNAME file at the root of your repository. Visit the dashboard provided by your domain provider and add a CNAME record pointing to your subdomain.

You can clear the custom domain field. Let it remain empty. Then click the save button. Then clear cache of your browser or open in another browser / incognito mode. You will see the difference.
