To be honest I tried this but it said… can’t delete from the main… you need to make a branch…
But I didn’t want to do this

If that repo/fork is yours, you should be able to add/delete files directly at the `master` branch.
2 options should show up to you:
1. Commit directly to the `master` branch.
2. Create **a new branch** for this commit and start a pull request.
