How do I remove someone else's repo on my main page?

Question

Around 2/3 weeks ago I somehow got the repo discordjs/guide on my main page, not starred, not forked or anything, originally I tried to remove it but I couldn't figure it out so I left it alone, but now it's getting to me

When I press the link, it just directs to the official repo, there is no settings tab for me to remove it or anything, when I go to my accounts repos page, It's not there. I have gone through all the settings I could but I have not found anything related to it.

I have made an issue on it before, but that issue was closed.

I don't see it on my view of your main page: https://github.com/karizma?tab=repositories — Keith Thompson, Jun 30 '20 at 19:33
Yea it's not on my public repositories, it's just on my main page/homepage on the left sidebar — , Jun 30 '20 at 19:34

I also have repositories I don't own in the repository list in the left sidebar of github.com (when I am logged in)

some I have participated to (PR)
some I have issues I follow
some I have seen promoted in the "GitHub Explore the week" email I receive weekly

The Octicons-repo.svg part of their sideNav simply reference a "repository", but that list is generated automatically.

The best course of action is to email GitHub support for asking for clarification regarding the composition of that list (that you cannot yourself directly modify)

I've done some more searching and it looks like you are right, only ways to remove are either to contact them or wait out 4 months of inactivity. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54154257/how-to-remove-repositories-that-i-dont-own-from-github-dashboard — , Jul 01 '20 at 04:34
