Delete a package version for the authenticated user

DELETE

/user/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}/versions/{package_version_id}

Deletes a specific package version for a package owned by the authenticated user. If the package is public and the package version has more than 5,000 downloads, you cannot delete the package version. In this scenario, contact GitHub support for further assistance.

To use this endpoint, you must have admin permissions in the organization and authenticate using an access token with the read:packages and delete:packages scopes.
If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that only supports repository-scoped permissions, your token must also include the repo scope. For the list of GitHub Packages registries that only support repository-scoped permissions, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
