A GitHub Action used to delete workflow runs from a repository.
This is a fork of the archived repro orginal written by MajorScruffy, modified to support node v20 and updated dependencies.
Behind the scenes it uses Octokit request-action to call the GitHub API, so you'll need to add the GITHUB_TOKEN as an environment variable:
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
steps:
- name: Delete workflow runs
uses: Rubber1Duck/[email protected]
with:
repository: Rubber1Duck/delete-old-workflow-runs # replace this with your own repository
older-than-seconds: 86400 # remove all workflow runs older than 1 day
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
See also the Demo workflow.

Use this parameter to delete only the workflow runs that were created before the given date in ISO 8601 format. For example, 2021-12-08T16:34:00Z. This parameter is ignored if older-than-seconds is set.
Delete only the workflow runs for the given GitHub user. This is the e-mail address of the user who pushed the code.
