## Deleting your site

You can delete your site in two ways:
* Delete the repository. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/deleting-a-repository).
* Change the source to the `None` branch. For more information, see [Deleting your site by changing the source](#deleting-your-site-by-changing-the-source) below.

If you want to remove the current deployment of your site but do not want to delete the site, you can unpublish your site. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/unpublishing-a-github-pages-site).
