npm unpublish [<package-spec>]
To learn more about how the npm registry treats unpublish, see our unpublish policies
Consider using the deprecate command instead,
if your intent is to encourage users to upgrade, or if you no longer
want to maintain a package.
This removes a package version from the registry, deleting its entry and removing the tarball.
The npm registry will return an error if you are not logged in.
If you do not specify a version or if you remove all of a package’s versions then the registry will remove the root package entry entirely.
Even if you unpublish a package version, that specific name and version combination can never be reused. In order to publish the package again, you must use a new version number. If you unpublish the entire package, you may not publish any new versions of that package until 24 hours have passed.
dry-runIndicates that you don’t want npm to make any changes and that it should
only report what it would have done. This can be passed into any of the
commands that modify your local installation, eg, install, update,
dedupe, uninstall, as well as pack and publish.
Note: This is NOT honored by other network related commands, eg dist-tags,
owner, etc.
forceRemoves various protections against unfortunate side effects, common mistakes, unnecessary performance degradation, and malicious input.

workspaceEnable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by this configuration option.
Valid values for the workspace config are either:
When set for the npm init command, this may be set to the folder of a
workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
brand new workspace within the project.
This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
workspacesSet to true to run the command in the context of all configured workspaces.
Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like install to
ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:
node_modules tree (install, update, etc.)
will link workspaces into the node_modules folder. - Commands that do
other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
unless one or more workspaces are specified in the workspace config.This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.
