Hello,
I deleted a repository about a month ago, but it still appears in GitHub search results. When I click the link, it correctly shows a “404 error not found” page, but I would like the repository to be completely removed from search results.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, or will it be removed automatically after more time?
Thank you for your assistance.

Click the Three Dots: On the search result that points to the deleted repository, click the three vertical dots (⋮) next to the link.

Select "Remove Result": You should see an option to "Remove Result" or "Report a problem." Click this option to notify Google that the page no longer exists.

This will prompt Google to review the link and, if it confirms the page is no longer available, the link should eventually be removed from search results.

This method may help speed up the process, though it could still take some time for Google’s index to fully update.

I can't find "Remove result" option. I have only share, save and feedback. But I send feedback to the google to remove the search result. Thankyou!
