I want to remove someone from my Github team, and I would prefer if I could delete their clone of my repository. Is this possible?

Removing them from the team won't delete their local clone

As far as I know it's not possible. Seizing their repository rights would simply prevent them from further pulling/pushing, but you have basically no control of what they have stored locally.

CodePudding user response：

No, a clone of a Git repository is a copy of the bits and bytes. Once they are copied, you don't have control over them any more (just like with any other computer file). There is no technical solution, but you can ask your contributor to remove the repository from their computer. If they really do it is up to them.
