Can't delete a repository I don't own from my repositories list

Body

Hello, I have a repository showing in my repositories list that I want to remove, but I don't find how to do it. On the picture below, it is the "OpenClassrooms-...". I think I forked it by mistake one day and since, it is in my list and it annoys me.

I removed it from my forks, it is not starred, I don't have access to its settings since it's not mine.

I didn't interact with this repository for months and it does not go down in the list because the repos in the list seems to not be ordered by most recent interaction.

Does someone know how to remove this from my repositories list or at least make it sink down at the bottom of the list ?

Thank you in advance :)

Hi @ju-lianne,

Since it's a forked repository, you can’t fully remove it unless you delete the fork. Here’s what you can do:

1. Go to the repository page.
2. Click on Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Danger Zone and click on Delete this repository.

This will delete the fork from your repositories list. If you don't want to delete it, you can also archive it, which will push it down to the bottom of your list.

Hello, thank you for your answer.

I forked "OpenClassrooms-..." more than a year ago but since then, I unforked it and deleted the repository created by the fork. The "OpenClassrooms-..." repository is not mine and I do not have access to the settings so I can't delete, despite that it stills appear in my list.

Hey, did you manage to fix it? I had the same issue before, and I think I fixed it by clicking on 'Your Organizations' and removing the repository from there.
