# Delete GitHub Actions caches for a repository (using a cache key)

`DELETE /repos/{owner}/{repo}/actions/caches`

Deletes one or more GitHub Actions caches for a repository, using a complete cache key. By default, all caches that match the provided key are deleted, but you can optionally provide a Git ref to restrict deletions to caches that match both the provided key and the Git ref.

OAuth tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the `repo` scope to use this endpoint.
