Refer to the highlighted part of the image above, I have tried adding a LICENSE file from GitHub to one of my repository.

Upon deleting the LICENSE file, the license indicator (highlighted on the image above) did not disappear.

How do I make it disappear? The repository is old and I don't want to create a new one because the commit history might be deleted.

Already tried clearing cache on browsers, re-adding and removing a LICENSE file again (assuming it's just a glitch) but to no avail.

Expecting a repository overview like this:

Thank you!

If you remove the license, your code becomes all rigths reserved. (opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/1720/…) Is this your intention? If you intend to remove the requirement to include the original copyright notice you should replace the license to MIT-0 instead. It is good practice to include any kind of license that mirrors your intention.Nigrosine
