Deleted commits still appear on my GitHub contribution graph

Hello GitHub team/community,

I'm experiencing a stale contribution graph issue on my GitHub profile.

My profile currently shows 448 contributions in the last year, including contributions attributed to my private repository:

Vansh-Codez/Machine-Learning-Practice

I previously created backdated commits in this repository using a script. I subsequently removed those generated commits from the repository history and retained my legitimate commit(s).

The repository is currently clean.

I verified the following:

1. git log --oneline --all --decorate

shows only:

5f3cf12 (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Initial commit

2. git ls-remote --heads origin

shows only:

5f3cf1284a656e1816e18594dcda5e437b325321 refs/heads/main

3. git fsck --full --no-reflogs --unreachable

finds no unreachable commits.

There is also a clear discrepancy on my GitHub profile:

The contribution activity still shows historical contributions from Machine-Learning-Practice, but when I click the corresponding contribution and view the commits for that date, GitHub displays:

"No commits history"

This has persisted for approximately one month.

I understand that contribution data can take some time to update after repository history changes, but this has persisted far beyond the normal refresh period.

I'm not trying to restore the deleted commits. I want the contribution graph to accurately reflect the repository's current history.

Could someone please confirm whether this is stale/cached contribution data and whether the contribution index for my profile/repository can be recalculated?

I've attached screenshots showing:

1. The 448 contributions and repository attribution.
2. The "No commits history" page for an affected date.
3. The current clean Git history and GitHub remote state.

Thank you.
