How do I delete a repository from GitHub when there is no Settings icon?
Everything I've found refers to the Settings icon and then scrolling to the bottom to type in the Repository name for confirmation, but what do I do when there is no Settings icon?
If you have no Settings icon, then you are not an administrator of the repository. As such, you cannot delete the repository or change any of its settings.
If you think the repository should be deleted, you can ask an administrator of the repository or the organization to delete it. If you own the repository, check that you're signed in and using the correct account.

The clone button is disabled.
The Git folder is empty.
I got the link from github.com in my repo.
This is how I copied the link from my repo:
But when I paste the link to the application the clone button is still disabled.
The "GitHub.com" tab is meant to search for a repository by name, so you should enter something like LineRenderer-Controller, possibly including the username as well.
If you already have the full URL, you should put it in the "URL" tab.
I want to try and fix my course's repository in GitHub by deleting multiple folders and files. The problem though is that I don't have the settings on my repo for some reason. I want to use the web, not git-cmd.exe.
This question didn't solve my problem, the settings aren't still there.
Q: How do I get it back?
If you mean that you are not able to view the Settings tab on the repo in GitHub, that means you are not the repo admin or the organization owner. Only users with admin access can view the Settings tab on a repo in GitHub.
You would need to request for the required permissions with the repo owner to be able to view the Settings tab.
I forked a project to a group. But there is no option to delete that forked project. I saw danger zone in Github. Is there any option available to delete forked project from Gitlab?
login with master role in the repository.
go to forked project. then from left panel, go to Settings => General.
like this:
click the Expand from Advance settings panel.
go to bottom page and click Remove project.
then type your projectName and click Confirm.
I hope is useful.
First, check wheter you have master role in the repository/Group. Developer or any other role cannot delete the project/forked project.
If you are master then
Go to settings
Go to Advanced settings.
Click on remove project.
Type the project name and click confirm
As per the above response, you'll not be able to fork again for about a week as the name is already taken, by the pending removed fork.
This is frustrating, and sometimes unaffordable.
Here is what you can do from settings:
1) change the deferred removal project name
2) press Save Changes (ignroing potential error messages)
3) expand advanced and now rename the path as well
4) try to fork again; now it worked
While, submitting my pull request on github I saw some of the images are displaying the message Git LFS file is not shown and I'm having all the images in my working branch.What does that mean?
I suspect this problem maybe related your github settings for Git LFS.
Could you double check that it's enabled?

I have installed GitHub Desktop as the uploaded local project tool, I uploaded a project "F:/test", and it could show successful in my GitHub homepage, then I delete this repository.
But I re-publish this project to GitHub.
Github Desktop shows this history of the repository, and prompt error
The repository does not seem to exist anymore.
You may not have [enter access, or it may have been deleted or renamed
How can I get past this error message?
This error was keeps on occurring to me. Turn out I was not added as the Contributor on the GitHub project.
The repo owner should be able to see and list of Contributor for the project. You can request him to add you in contributor list and this error will disappear.
I was facing the same issue, I simply sign out from Github Desktop app in File > options > Signout
In my case I accidentally changed the push Url, so I executed:
git remote set-url --push origin https://github.com/username/repo.git
After that I checked with:
git remote show origin
your Fetch Url and Push Url must look like the same URL where you cloned the project.
As shown in this error, it is the result of an invalid local path. Either because it includes invalid characters, or because you don't have write/admin access to it (read access is not enough).
If you can, clone again that repo in a different path and open it with GitHub Desktop, and see if the issue persists.
I had the same issue. I deleted my repository from remote as well and then recreated.
If you aren't worried about the change trace being lost, then you can simply remove the .git folder (you will need to enable hidden files in windows) and then re-initialize the repository in the project folder.
This resolved the problem for me!
In my case I have used more than one account. Just sign out from GitHub Desktop and sign in back to the specific account. You might sign out any logged GitHub session on the default web browser if the account is not what you want.
Since I had a forked repository, I had spelled my url wrong in
github desktop -> repository -> repository settings...
I had a link called github.com/myname/myproject.it
but instead of it I hade to write git.
github.com/myname/myproject.git
I was logged in with the wrong account! I had to sign out of Github in the browser first, then sign out in Github Desktop and re-sign in
