You know all those files you’ve been creating, editing, moving, and renaming? Well, you’ll be glad to know that you can now remove them using the web-based interface too! Simply view any file in your repository, click the delete button at the top, and commit the removal just like any other web-based edit.
And just like that, ![]()
, it’s gone.
For help with these features, be sure to read our help articles on creating, moving, renaming, and deleting files.
Note: Since it’s a version control system, Git always has your back if you need
to recover the file later. If you really, really need to completely
delete a file from a repository for some reason, say a secret key or other sensitive
file that was accidentally commited, you may need to consider
![]()
the nuclear option![]()
.
