# Delete a package version

> Delete one version by its id, version, digest or a tag that points to it: it is gone from the registries at once, with its tags, and can be restored for 30 days.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="delete">DELETE</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/packages/{package_type}/{package_name}/versions/{version_id}</code></div>

Its version (or digest) cannot be published again until then. Composer versions follow their repository's tags: delete the tag instead. Takes the Admin role on the package.

The version and its tags are gone from the registry at once. It can be restored for 30 days, and its version cannot be published again until it is purged.

- **MCP tool:** [`package`](/reference/mcp/#package) with `action` `delete_version`, and the same inputs
