NAME

6       npm-unpublish - Remove a package from the registry
7

SYNOPSIS

9         npm unpublish [<@scope>/]<pkg>[@<version>]
10

WARNING

12       It is generally considered bad behavior to remove versions of a library
13       that others are depending on!
14
15       Consider using the deprecate command instead,  if  your  intent  is  to
16       encourage users to upgrade.
17
18       There is plenty of room on the registry.

DESCRIPTION

21       This  removes  a  package version from the registry, deleting its entry
22       and removing the tarball.
23
24       If no version is specified, or if all versions  are  removed  then  the
25       root package entry is removed from the registry entirely.
26
27       Even  if  a package version is unpublished, that specific name and ver‐
28       sion combination can never be reused. In order to publish  the  package
29       again, a new version number must be used. Additionally, new versions of
30       packages with every version unpublished may not be republished until 24
31       hours have passed.
32
33       With  the  default  registry  (registry.npmjs.org),  unpublish  is only
34       allowed with versions published in the last 72 hours. If you are trying
35       to  unpublish  a  version  published longer ago than that, contact sup‐
36       port@npmjs.com.
37
38       The scope is optional and follows  the  usual  rules  for  npm  help  7
39       npm-scope.
