<h1><a href="../cli/npm-unpublish.html">npm-unpublish</a></h1> <p>Remove a package from the registry</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm unpublish [@<scope>/]<name>[@<version>]
</code></pre><h2 id="warning">WARNING</h2>
<p><strong>It is generally considered bad behavior to remove versions of a library
that others are depending on!</strong></p>
<p>Consider using the <code>deprecate</code> command
instead, if your intent is to encourage users to upgrade.</p>
<p>There is plenty of room on the registry.</p>
<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This removes a package version from the registry, deleting its
entry and removing the tarball.</p>
<p>If no version is specified, or if all versions are removed then
the root package entry is removed from the registry entirely.</p>
<p>Even if a package version is unpublished, that specific name and
version combination can never be reused. In order to publish the
package again, a new version number must be used.</p>
<p>The scope is optional and follows the usual rules for <code><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html"><a href="../misc/npm-scope.html">npm-scope(7)</a></a></code>.</p>
