I am still showing up as a contributor to a repository after I left

I do not want to be affiliated to that repository at all, I don't know if it shows up on my public page but I need it to be gone. I also can no longer go into the settings on that repository since I left.

GitHub still shows you as a contributor because contributor status is based on the repository’s commit history, not on current access or membership. Even though you left the repository and no longer have access to its settings, any commits you made remain in the history and can still be associated with your GitHub account if the email matches. Unfortunately, you cannot remove this yourself; only the repository owner can rewrite or remove the commits, or you can try detaching the email used for those commits from your GitHub account to reduce the public association.
