✨ NAME ✨

dotnet-nuget-delete — deletes or unlists a package from the server. that's it, that's the job 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dotnet nuget delete [<PACKAGE_NAME> <PACKAGE_VERSION>] [--force-english-output]
    [--interactive] [-k|--api-key <API_KEY>] [--no-service-endpoint]
    [--non-interactive] [-s|--source <SOURCE>]

dotnet nuget delete -h|--help

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the dotnet nuget delete command deletes or unlists a package from the server. simple as that.

now here's the tea for nuget.org (https://www.nuget.org/): the action is to unlist the package, not straight-up delete it. so don't panic, it's giving soft launch not full goodbye 😭

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• PACKAGE_NAME — the name/ID of the package you're deleting. who is she? that's her.
• PACKAGE_VERSION — the version of the package you're deleting. gotta be specific bestie, no vibes-only guesses.

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• --force-english-output — forces the app to run using an invariant, English-based culture. yes ma'am, we're doing this in English only 💅
• -?|-h|--help — prints out a description of how to use the command. the classic "wait what do i type" savior 🙈
• --interactive — allows the command to stop and wait for user input or action. for example, to complete authentication. available since .NET Core 3.0 SDK. she's patient, she'll wait for you 🫶
• -k|--api-key <API_KEY> — the API key for the server. your lil hall pass 🔑
• --no-service-endpoint — by default, the command appends /api/v2/package to the specified URL. this option is for custom feeds that must use the exact source URL as specified with the --source option. for more information, see the --source option later in this article. basically: "don't add the extra path, i meant exactly what i said" ✨
• --non-interactive — doesn't prompt for user input or confirmations. no questions, no small talk, just do it ⭐
• -s|--source <SOURCE> — specifies the server URL. the URL you pass with this option can be either V2 (https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/) or V3 (https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json). for private feeds, replace the host name (for example, %hostname%/api/v3/index.json). pick your portal, bestie 🌈

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

• deletes version 1.0 of package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc:

dotnet nuget delete Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc 1.0

• deletes version 1.0 of package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc, not prompting user for credentials or other input:

dotnet nuget delete Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc 1.0 --non-interactive

---

heads up: on nuget.org, "delete" really means unlist. the package doesn't vanish into the void, it just gets shy 🙈

and that's the whole page, periodt 💜 this one was documented 2025-10-30 and it belongs to the dotnet-nuget-delete(1) manual. go forth and unlist responsibly, main character 🎀✨
