# repos_delete_file

> Delete a file in a commit of its own. Needs the file's blob `sha`, so read it first. To remove several files in one commit, use `git_trees_create` with `delete: true` entries instead.

<div className="tool-route"><span className="tool-row-method" data-method="DELETE">DELETE</span><code>{"https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path}"}</code></div>

```python github_repos_delete_file.py theme={null}
from charter.packs import github

result = await github.repos_delete_file.ainvoke({"owner": ..., "repo": ..., "path": ..., "message": ..., "sha": ...})
```

<Note>
  Requires `repo`, `read:user`.
