Deleting and restoring a package

Package deletion and restoration support on GitHub

On GitHub if you have the required access, you can delete:

• an entire private package
• an entire public package, if there's not more than 5000 downloads of any version of the package
• a specific version of a private package
• a specific version of a public package, if the package version doesn't have more than 5,000 downloads

On GitHub, you can also restore an entire package or package version, if:

• You restore the package within 30 days of its deletion.
• The same package namespace is still available and not used for a new package.

Packages API support

You can use the REST API to manage your packages. For more information, see the "GitHub Packages API."

For packages that inherit their permissions and access from repositories, you can use GraphQL to delete a specific package version. A API do GraphQL do GitHub Packages não dá suporte a contêineres ou a imagens do Docker que usam o namespace de pacote https://ghcr.io/OWNER/PACKAGE-NAME ou imagens npm que usam o namespace de pacote https://npm.pkg.github.com/OWNER/PACKAGE-NAME. For more information about GraphQL support, see "Deleting a version of a repository-scoped package with GraphQL."

Required permissions to delete or restore a package

For packages that inherit their access permissions from repositories, you can delete a package if you have admin permissions to the repository.

The GitHub Packages registries below only use repository-scoped permissions:

• RubyGems registry
• Apache Maven registry
• NuGet registry

For Container registry and npm registry, you can choose to allow packages to be scoped to a user, an organization, or linked to a repository.

To delete a package that has granular permissions separate from a repository, such as container images stored at https://ghcr.io/OWNER/PACKAGE-NAME or https://npm.pkg.github.com/OWNER/PACKAGE-NAME, you must have admin access to the package. For more information, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

Deleting a package version

Deleting a version of a repository-scoped package on GitHub

To delete a version of a repository-scoped package, you must have admin permissions to the repository that owns the package. For more information, see "Required permissions."

1. No GitHub.com, navegue até a página principal do repositório.
2. À direita da lista de arquivos, clique em Pacotes.
3. Procurar e selecionar o seu pacote.
4. No canto superior direito da página de aterrissagem do pacote, clique em Configurações do pacote.
5. On the left, click Manage versions.
6. To the right of the version you want to delete, click and select Delete version.
7. To confirm deletion, type the package name and click I understand the consequences, delete this version.

Deleting a version of a repository-scoped package with GraphQL

For packages that inherit their permissions and access from repositories, you can use the GraphQL to delete a specific package version.

A API do GraphQL do GitHub Packages não dá suporte a contêineres ou a imagens do Docker que usam o namespace de pacote https://ghcr.io/OWNER/PACKAGE-NAME ou imagens npm que usam o namespace de pacote https://npm.pkg.github.com/OWNER/PACKAGE-NAME. You can however use the REST API. For more information, see the "GitHub Packages API."

Use the deletePackageVersion mutation in the GraphQL API. You must use a token with the read:packages, delete:packages, and repo scopes. For more information about tokens, see "About GitHub Packages."

The following example demonstrates how to delete a package version, using a packageVersionId of MDIyOlJlZ2lzdHJ5UGFja2FnZVZlcnNpb243MTExNg.

curl -X POST \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.package-deletes-preview+json" \
-H "Authorization: bearer TOKEN" \
-d '{"query":"mutation { deletePackageVersion(input:{packageVersionId:\"MDIyOlJlZ2lzdHJ5UGFja2FnZVZlcnNpb243MTExNg==\"}) { success }}"}' \
HOSTNAME/graphql

To find all of the private packages you have published to GitHub Packages, along with the version IDs for the packages, you can use the packages connection through the repository object. You will need a token with the read:packages and repo scopes. For more information, see the packages connection or the PackageOwner interface.

For more information about the deletePackageVersion mutation, see "deletePackageVersion."

You cannot directly delete an entire package using GraphQL, but if you delete every version of a package, the package will no longer show on GitHub.

Restoring packages

You can restore a deleted package or version if:

• You restore the package within 30 days of its deletion.
• The same package namespace and version is still available and not reused for a new package.

For example, if you have a deleted RubyGems package named octo-package that was scoped to the repo octo-repo-owner/octo-repo, then you can only restore the package if the package namespace rubygem.pkg.github.com/octo-repo-owner/octo-repo/octo-package is still available, and 30 days have not yet passed.

To restore a deleted package, you must also meet one of these permission requirements:

• For repository-scoped packages: You have admin permissions to the repository that owns the deleted package.
• For user-account scoped packages: Your personal account owns the deleted package.
• For organization-scoped packages: You have admin permissions to the deleted package in the organization that owns the package.

For more information, see "Required permissions."

Once the package is restored, the package will use the same namespace it did before. If the same package namespace is not available, you will not be able to restore your package. In this scenario, to restore the deleted package, you must delete the new package that uses the deleted package's namespace first.

Restoring a package in an organization

You can restore a deleted package through your organization account settings, as long as the package was in a repository owned by the organizaton or had granular permissions and was scoped to your organization account.
