# Delete a package

> Delete a package and every version: it is gone from the registries at once, and can be restored for 30 days, during which its name cannot be taken.

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

The package and every version are gone from the registry at once. Restore it with `restore_package` within 30 days; until then nobody can publish a package of its name.

- **MCP tool:** [`package`](/reference/mcp/#package) with `action` `delete`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`packages:delete`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).
