npm-unpublish

npm unpublish [package] [options]

npm unpublish removes a published package or version from the npm registry. Because removing a package can break consumers anywhere in the dependency graph, the registry restricts what may be removed and when.Within 72 hours of publication, you may freely unpublish a version or the entire package. After that, the registry only allows unpublishing if no other package depends on it and the package owner is the sole maintainer; otherwise contact npm support. After unpublishing an entire package, the same name cannot be republished for 24 hours, and any unpublished name@version pair can never be reused.
