DELETE /users/{username}/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}/versions/{package_version_id}

Deletes a specific package version for a 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.

If the package_type belongs to a GitHub Packages registry that supports granular permissions, the authenticated user must have admin permissions to the package. For the list of these registries, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the read:packages and delete:packages scopes to use this endpoint. For more information, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
