Deleting a GitHub repository is a straightforward but sensitive process, as it will permanently remove the repository and all its contents. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

‍

1. Navigate to the repository you want to delete.
2. On the repository page, click on the 'Settings' tab usually found at the top-right of the repository name.
3. Scroll all the way down to the 'Danger Zone' section.
4. In the 'Danger Zone', you’ll see an option labelled 'Delete this repository'. Click on it.
5. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm the deletion and click 'I want to delete this repository'.
6. Click the 'I have read and understand these effects' button.
7. GitHub will prompt you to type the repository name to confirm that you really want to delete it.
8. Enter the exact name of the repository and click 'Delete this repository'.
9. Once you confirm, the repository, its issues, pull requests, and everything in it will be permanently deleted.
