Overview

This node operation deletes a specific NuGet package version from a GitLab project. It is useful for managing and cleaning up package versions in a project's package registry, especially when certain versions are deprecated or no longer needed. For example, a user can automate the removal of outdated NuGet packages from their GitLab project to maintain a clean and efficient package repository.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate deletion of a specific NuGet package version from a GitLab project to free up storage and reduce clutter.
  2. Remove deprecated or vulnerable package versions from a project's NuGet registry to ensure only safe and supported versions are available.
