/**
 * Important Notes:
 * Replace 'YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' with your actual GitHub API token for authorization.
 * Replace 'owner' and'repo' with the actual owner and repository names of your GitHub repository.
 * Replace 'fileName' with the actual name of your workflow file.
 * The fetch function is used for making HTTP requests, assuming a modern environment where fetch is available. If you're using this in an environment where fetch isn't natively available (like older versions of Node.js), you might need to use a library like axios or polyfill fetch.
 * The infinite loop in the main function will continuously delete workflow runs, waiting 1 second between each batch of deletions.
 * Make sure to have a strategy for breaking out of this loop or handling errors properly to avoid unintended consequences.
