I have created a project page for a repository in GitHub and later I deleted the gh-pages branch to delete the page. But now I see github-pages Active under the Environments section in the home page of my repository.

enter image description here

I have no idea what that section is and how to remove it. When I click on the Environments, I am taken to the page with following; View deployment button takes me to a broken 404 github page since I have deleted the page I created. enter image description here

Check in Settings>Environments Or https://github.com/user/repo-name/settings/environments

Where "user" should be your username and "repo-name" the repo name

It will show a icon to delete github-pages

If you are using Chrome then try to clear browsing data for the last 24 hours and restart. This worked for me.

  • also might be worthwhile trying the ctrl-f5 trick to force a "reload not from cache" on the page

You can either hide it (if it's enough) by excluding it from the homepage by clicking on the cog icon above the environments, next to About and unchecking Environments (and all else you do not want there)

Or you can completly remove github pages by following steps here

    I have already deleted GitHub page by deleting gh-pages branch. It's also reflected under 'GitHub Pages' of settings as it's now showing 'None' under 'Source'. But still the Environments has the github-pages as Active and view deployment button leads to a 404 page.
