You’re pinning the action by its full commit SHA, which reduces readability and makes upgrades harder. It’s usually better to target the major version tag (e.g. @v8) or a full semver range to get non-breaking updates automatically. For example:

steps:
  - uses: actions/github-script@v8      # pulls latest v8.x.x
    with:
      script: |
        github.rest.git.deleteRef({
          owner: context.repo.owner,
          repo: context.repo.repo,
          ref: 'refs/heads/old-branch'
        })

The inline comment for the version (# v8.0.0) is now out of sync with your SHA pin. Either update or remove it entirely to avoid confusion. If you switch to @v8 you can drop the comment, since it’s implied by the tag’s semantics.

It’s safer to wrap the delete in a try/catch so that a missing ref (404) won’t fail the entire workflow. Here’s an example:

with:
  script: |
    try {
      await github.rest.git.deleteRef({
        owner: context.repo.owner,
        repo: context.repo.repo,
        ref: 'refs/heads/old-branch'
      })
      console.log('Ref deleted successfully')
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.status === 404) {
        console.log('Branch not found, skipping deletion')
      } else {
        throw error
      }
    }
