Note: GitHub Packages is currently in beta for GitHub Enterprise Server 2.22. To join the beta for your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, use the sign-up form.
At this time, GitHub Packages on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance does not support deleting public packages.
You can only delete a specified version of a private package on GitHub Enterprise Server or with the GraphQL API. To remove an entire private package from appearing on GitHub Enterprise Server, you must delete every version of the package first.
