### Description

I tried to erase older coverage data and content from our private repository.

However it still alive…  
Is there any possible reason why it is not erased?

I would like to unlink all older integrated commit data and branch data before restart link to CodeCov because there are seem to be broken.

To be clear, @fan-w-suzuki, we do not need admin access to the repository. We need proof that you are an admin to perform an erase on your behalf.
