I recently deleted a repository with the name JS
and the Github has the option to restore repositories (Settings/Repositories/Deleted repositories) deleted which does not actually delete the repository, just creates a Backup from the repository, what I want is to create a repository again named JS
only that the system does not leave returning a message saying that the repository is already existing and that I can not create a repository with the same name, so as I do to get around this problem do not want to restore the repository JS
and having to erase file by file to have a new empty repository would take more work.
This answers your question? Delete a particular repository from github
– Rafael Tavares
Not to delete an existing repository but to delete a repository that has already been deleted.

I don’t know how you deleted it, since Github permanently deletes it. You have tried to restore and delete it as mentioned link?
– Rafael Tavares
No mate! Github does not permanently delete the repository, there is the option to restore the deleted repository https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/restoring-a-deleted-repository.

If you restore the repository, and clone on your machine you can delete all the files at once, then just commit and sync, so the repository is empty again. @felipecardozo

When you say that the "system" is not leaving it is Github itself that is giving this message or is using some tool to create the repository on Github?
– Dherik
Yes! Github himself.
– felipe cardozo
Samuel Renan Gonçalves Vaz, yes! only that as mentioned in the question would be more work since I look for a more agile solution to do, this because in the future it may occur again and I will have to repeat the same steps and can also have other people with the same problem.
