Delete a file

DELETE
/repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path}
Deletes a file in a repository.
You can provide an additional committer parameter, which is an object containing information about the committer. Or, you can provide an author parameter, which is an object containing information about the author.
The author section is optional and is filled in with the committer information if omitted. If the committer information is omitted, the authenticated user's information is used.
You must provide values for both name and email, whether you choose to use author or committer. Otherwise, you'll receive a 422 status code.
Note: If you use this endpoint and the "Create or update file contents" endpoint in parallel, the concurrent requests will conflict and you will receive errors. You must use these endpoints serially instead.
