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

OK I think I get it now. Is there any way to "unlink" my repo from the original repo while still giving credit so I don't need to create a complete copy and go through all the setup?

    The concern they raised only matters if you plan to pull updates from the repo you're forking.
