NAME

       npm-unpublish - Remove a package from the registry

SYNOPSIS

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

WARNING

       It  is  generally  considered bad behavior to remove versions of a library that others are
       depending on!

       Consider using the deprecate command instead, if your intent  is  to  encourage  users  to
       upgrade.

       There is plenty of room on the registry.

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       Even  if  a package version is unpublished, that specific name and version combination can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.

       The scope is optional and follows the usual rules for npm help 7 npm-scope.
