How do I remove a package from Pypi?
I uploaded a package to Pypi several months ago. The package is now obsolete and I'd like to formally remove it. I cannot find any documentation on how to remove my package.

To use pip to uninstall a package locally in a virtual environment: Open a command or terminal window (depending on the operating system) cd into the project directory. pip uninstall <packagename>
Uninstalling/removing Python packages using Pip Open a terminal window. To uninstall, or remove, a package use the command '$PIP uninstall <package-name>'. This example will remove the flask package.
You have two options: Use another package manager such as conda . This will only work if the package was originally installed with that package manager. Delete the package manually with File Explorer or the command-line.
To remove all packages installed by pip with Python, we run pip uninstall . to run pip freeze to get the list of packages installed. And then we pipe that to xargs pip uninstall -y to remove all the packages listed by pip freeze with pip uninstall . We use the -y to remove everything without needing confirmation.
