Delete-packages

Description

Given a list of package versions and their repository, run a parallel delete tree operation to remove the packages and their files from storage.

The delete-packages command allows you to remove specific packages from a repository. This should be used with caution as it permanently removes the package data.

Note

On storage systems that treat folders as first-class citizens (such as local file systems and Nucleus servers), empty parent folders may remain after deleting a package version. For example, if you delete the last version of a package, the package name folder within the repository may be left empty. These empty folders need to be removed manually if desired.

This command is often used in conjunction with find-orphans to clean up unused packages from a repository.

For CLI options, run wrapp delete-packages --help.
