npm-unpublish
Remove a package from the registryTable of contents
Synopsis
To learn more about how the npm registry treats unpublish, see our unpublish policies
Unpublishing a single version of a package
npm unpublish [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<version>
Unpublishing an entire package
npm unpublish [<@scope>/]<pkg> --force
Warning
Consider using the deprecate command instead,
if your intent is to encourage users to upgrade, or if you no longer
want to maintain a package.
Description
This removes a package version from the registry, deleting its entry and removing the tarball.
The npm registry will return an error if you are not logged in.
If you do not specify a version or if you remove all of a package’s versions then the registry will remove the root package entry entirely.
Even if you unpublish a package version, that specific name and version combination can never be reused. In order to publish the package again, you must use a new version number. If you unpublish the entire package, you may not publish any new versions of that package until 24 hours have passed.
