I just sync'd an artifact to Maven Central from oss.sonatype.org. Immediately after doing so, a problem was discovered (of course). I haven't announced the new artifact yet, it is very unlikely that anyone is using it yet, so I'd like to take it down before anyone starts using the broken version.
How can I remove a broken artifact from Maven Central?

You can't remove an artifact from Maven Central because others might have used it already. Maven will not check for updates for non-snapshot versions of artifacts, so if someone has used the old version and a new version was uploaded, those people would never see the new version.
When running mvn install on a local multi module project it builds and install the projects artifacts into the local repo. mvn clean seems to clean up my project specific target directories.
Local maven repository is just a directory located in $HOME/. m2/repository/ . Locate your library there and just remove the directory where the files are stored.
What is a Maven Repository? In Maven terminology, a repository is a directory where all the project jars, library jar, plugins or any other project specific artifacts are stored and can be used by Maven easily.
Can't be done. It's A Rule. But if you want to try, contact the Sonatype people who support oss.sonatype.org. So you generally push a new, higher, version with the fix, and tell everyone to use it.
