delete command (NuGet CLI)

Applies to: package publishing • Supported versions: all

Deletes or unlists a package from a package source. For nuget.org, the delete command unlists the package.

Usage

nuget delete <packageID> <packageVersion> [options]

where <packageID> and <packageVersion> identify the exact package to delete or unlist. The exact behavior depends on the source. For local folders, for instance, the package is deleted; for nuget.org the package is unlisted.

Options

• -ApiKey

  The API key for the target repository. If not present, the one specified in the config file is used.

• -ConfigFile

  The NuGet configuration file to apply. If not specified, %AppData%\NuGet\NuGet.Config (Windows), or ~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config or ~/.config/NuGet/NuGet.Config (Mac/Linux) is used.

• -ForceEnglishOutput

  (3.5+) Forces nuget.exe to run using an invariant, English-based culture.

• -?|-help

  Displays help information for the command.

• -NonInteractive

  Suppresses prompts for user input or confirmations.

• -np|-NoPrompt

  Do not prompt when deleting.

• -NoServiceEndpoint Does not append "api/v2/packages" to the source URL.

• -src|-Source

  Specifies the server URL. The URL for nuget.org is https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json. For private feeds, substitute the host name, for example, %hostname%/api/v3.

• -Verbosity [normal|quiet|detailed]

  Specifies the amount of detail displayed in the output: normal (the default), quiet, or detailed.
