Overview

This node operation deletes a specific NuGet package version from a GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing and cleaning up NuGet packages in a project's package registry, especially when a package version is no longer needed or should be removed for security or maintenance reasons. For example, a user can delete an outdated or vulnerable NuGet package version from their GitLab project to ensure only approved versions are available.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a deprecated NuGet package version from a project to prevent its usage.
  2. Removing a mistakenly published package version to maintain package registry integrity.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID, package name, and package version are correctly specified; incorrect values will cause the API to fail.

  • The package version might not exist or may have already been deleted, resulting in a 404 Not Found error from the API.
