How to remove old NuGet packages

Question

I use the public NuGet server, and when I click on the solution and manage the Nuget packages, I see several packages that are also outdated versions of the packages. When I click "Management", I see that the old package is not installed in any project in my solution, but I have no way to remove it. Meanwhile, the last package is installed on several projects and is referenced and used very well.

Answer 1

NuGet.org does not provide a way to remove a package that has been published. The reason is that we don’t want to accidentally break existing projects that may use an older version, or force existing users to update their packages.

We understand that there are special circumstances and reasons to make an exception to this rule. If you need to remove the old package, you can send us a string using the "Report abuse" form on the website, due to the need to remove the package, and one of the site administrators will view it.
