Delete a repository

DELETE/repos/{owner}/{name}

Owners only, and confirm must be its full name, owner/name. It disappears at once: git refuses it, agents and workflows stop, its deployments are taken down, and search drops it. For 30 days an owner can restore it with restore_repo, as it was; then it is purged, its git data with it. Its name stays taken until it is purged. list_deleted_repos shows what can be restored.

The deleted repository and when it will be purged, 30 days on. Owners of the workspace only (403), whatever their role on the repository. Refused with 422 when confirm is not its full name. Its name stays taken until it is purged. See Delete a repository.
