title: npm-unpublish
section: 1
description: Remove a package from the registry
---
### Synopsis
To learn more about how the npm registry treats unpublish, see our <a
href="https://www.npmjs.com/policies/unpublish" target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"> unpublish policies</a>
#### Unpublishing a single version of a package
```bash
npm unpublish [<@scope>/]<pkg>@<version>
```
#### Unpublishing an entire package
```bash
npm unpublish [<@scope>/]<pkg> --force
```
### Warning
Consider using the [`deprecate`](/commands/npm-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](/commands/npm-login).
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 28 days have
passed.
