I do not believe the presence of forks matters. Or rather, your version is the initial fork.

My impression is that garbage collection is an expensive and disruptive option (to all forks) and so there's no button or API for it. Hence the recommendations to contact support if you accidentally commit an API KEY or the like (but really, you have already rotated that key, right?)
