| .SH WARNING |
| .P |
| \fBIt is generally considered bad behavior to remove versions of a library |
| that others are depending on!\fR |
| .P |
| Consider using the \fBdeprecate\fP command |
| instead, if your intent is to encourage users to upgrade\. |
| .P |
| There is plenty of room on the registry\. |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .P |

| entry and removing the tarball\. |

| 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| Even if a package version is unpublished, that specific name and |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\. |
| .P |
| The scope is optional and follows the usual rules for npm help 7 \fBnpm\-scope\fP\|\. |
