NAME

       npm-unpublish - Remove a package from the registry

   Synopsis
   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.

       If  no version is specified, or if all versions are removed then the root package entry is
       removed from the registry entirely.

       Even if a package version is unpublished, that specific name and version  combination  can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.
       If you unpublish the entire package, you may not publish any new versions of that  package
       until 24 hours have passed.

       To  learn  more  about  how  unpublish  is  treated  on  the  npm  registry,  see  our  <a
