Starter template

this workflow uses my other GitHub Action which retrieves list of artifacts. And then removes all of those artifacts. This example should run in any repository

name: Starter remove
on: [workflow_dispatch]
jobs:
  remove-job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - id: result 
      uses: MichaelMelena/list-artifacts@v1
    - uses: MichaelMelena/remove-artifacts@v1
      with:
        artifacts: ${{ steps.result.outputs.artifacts }}

Advanced template

you can specify which artifact you wish to remove by providing a list in folowing format:

[
  { "id" : 1},
  { "id" : 2}
]

the property id refers to artifact id. Any other properties are ignored

This is the template using your own values:

name: Advanced remove
on: [workflow_dispatch]
jobs:
  remove-job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: MichaelMelena/remove-artifacts@v1
        with:
          artifacts: '[{"id":1},{"id":2}]'
