Can I remove files from repository I forked, if I make no changes to them? Please refer to previous post for more context. (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Hey everyone, so I wrote this post a short time ago, and now I have another question regarding the same repository. I would like to remove the themes that I haven't touched as I don't want to have to deal with maintaining them every time there is a Lemmy update. Is that something I am allowed to do? Is it considered a crappy thing to do to the other dev?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Edit: Of course I am clearly giving credit to the original dev both on here on lemmy, as well as within my code

So, if you remove those files you're considering removing, will you have completely ship-of-thesiused everything in 2xx04's repo from your repo?

Either way, just my $0.02, maybe it makes sense to just start a whole new repo. If you do need something from 2xx04's repo (like his fork of Bootstrap, maybe?), I'd say copy it into your repo and make sure the README.md links to 2xx04's repo and describes specifically what you copied and what's 2xx04's.
