Delete artifacts

A GitHub Action for deleting artifacts within the workflow run. This can be useful when artifacts are shared across jobs, but are no longer needed when the workflow is complete.

⚡ Usage

See action.yml

Delete an individual artifact

steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - run: echo hello > world.txt

    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
      with:
          name: my-artifact
          path: world.txt

    # delete-artifact
    - uses: geekyeggo/delete-artifact@v2
      with:
          name: my-artifact

Specify multiple names

steps:
    - uses: geekyeggo/delete-artifact@v2
      with:
          name: |
              artifact-*
              binary-file
              output

🚨 Error vs Fail

By default, the action will fail when it was not possible to delete an artifact (with the exception of name mismatches). When the deletion of an artifact is not integral to the success of a workflow, it is possible to error without failure. All errors are logged.

steps:
    - uses: geekyeggo/delete-artifact@v2
      with:
          name: okay-to-keep
          failOnError: false
