How to delete a version from package manager?

[ramsoft-inc]

We want delete the all previous versions of packages and start with new versioning scheme.

In order to to achieve this, we tried deleting the entire folder of the previous version before I sent merge request. But after the merge request is approved I still see the folder in repo.

Is there any thing else I should do to delete a version from repo?
Please guide me on this.

Thanks

Can you share the PR? I'll take a look.

In order to "remove" a package, each of the versions must be removed.
In order to "remove" a version of a package the manifest file(s) for that version must be removed.

After a PR has been merged, the publishing pipeline needs to complete, and update the PreIndexed package. Then that must be published to the store, and the user cache needs to be refreshed (default 5 minute interval). This process can take from half an hour to a few hours to fully propagate globally.

Ah I see what's happening here, there seems to be two folders of RamSoft with a different capitalization of the letter S, so it'll show up in the repository as two folders but on GitHub Desktop as one folder.

[ramsoft-inc]

Yes, we have updated Folder name as well. Correct Folder is RamSoft (with capital S).

Problem should now be solved with commit 7db458a.
