How to remove an elixir pack on hex

Question

I want to remove the published elixir package on hex. I already know that I can only delete it one hour after creation with this command.

mix hex.publish --revert VERSION 

But is there any other way to remove a package that exceeds one hour after being created in hex? Thanks for every suggestion.

Answer 1

Quoting the documentation for the hex.publish mix task:

If you want to cancel a publication that is older than one hour, you need to contact the administrator.

Answer 2

You can return the package back to its original point without a version.

 mix hex.publish --revert 0.0.1 

This will cancel the published version 0.0.1 and leave the package without a code in it, just until the name until the administrator removes the package on request.
