Closing will not be enough. Even deleting the fork that made the PR will not be enough. (The PR remains open and the commit URLs automatically get updated to point to the parent repo, just like the URL that was submitted.)
Users can't delete PRs but GitHub can. They do it for PRs reported as spam, etc.
Regardless, what's needed here is not just deleting the PR (and the fork) but also doing a GC (as Stephen304 said), which too is something only GitHub can do.
