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

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

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.
