How to delete a published crate from crates.io?

Tags:

rust

I have accidentally published my private crate to crates.io. How do I delete it? I checked the documentation but it seems like there is no way to delete a published crate.

You cannot delete a crate once it is published. However, you can yank it to mark your crate as not usable: basically, nobody will use it, and no or few people will want to see the content. This policy allows to forbid the arbitrary breakage of other crates that use your package as a dependency.

If you have code or information in this crate that you do not want to be public, refer to the other answer.

The Crates.io policies say this under Removal:

We will do what the law requires us to do, and address flagrant violations of the Rust Code of Conduct. […] Crates.io will respect Mozilla Legal’s decisions with regards to content that is hosted.

I suggest to send mail to [email protected] as a start, and if they prove uncooperative, escalate to Mozilla Legal. Only as a last resort, add a deliberate Code of Conduct violation to trigger the removal.

EDIT I agree that this is not a desirable situation, so I submitted a pull request with a proposed policy change.
