For example, a user can delete a package version from a project to free up storage or remove deprecated software versions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a specific Conan package version from a GitLab project to maintain repository hygiene.
  2. Automating package cleanup in CI/CD pipelines by removing old or unused Conan packages.
