8   Synopsis

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

15   Warning
16       Consider  using the deprecate command instead, if your intent is to en‐
17       courage users to upgrade, or if you no longer want to maintain a  pack‐
18       age.

20   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27       Even  if  a package version is unpublished, that specific name and ver‐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. If you unpublish the entire
30       package, you may not publish any new versions of that package until  24
31       hours have passed.
