Explanation

In GitHub Actions, only completed workflow runs (those in a finished state such as success, failure, or cancelled) can be deleted. Pending or in-progress workflow runs cannot be deleted - they must first be cancelled. Admin access is not required; Write access to the repository is sufficient to delete a workflow run. There is no minimum age requirement such as 30 days - a completed run can be deleted immediately after it finishes.
