Overview

This node operation deletes a specific package from a project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing project packages by removing outdated or unwanted packages programmatically. For example, it can be used in CI/CD pipelines to clean up packages after deployment or in automation workflows to maintain project storage.

Use Case Examples

  1. Delete a package from a GitLab project by specifying the project ID and package ID to keep the project repository clean.
  2. Automate package removal in GitLab projects as part of a scheduled maintenance workflow.
