Collection artifacts are meant to be immutable, and cannot be deleted in the current version of community galaxy. You could file an issue at [https://github.com/ansible/galaxy](https://github.com/ansible/galaxy) but since there is no means to delete it directly within the app, I believe the only way is for the admins to manipulate the DB directly. I’ve seen other issues logged for this, but don’t believe any of them have been completed.

Example: [https://github.com/ansible/galaxy/issues/3034](https://github.com/ansible/galaxy/issues/3034)
