Delete a package for the authenticated user

Deletes a package owned by the authenticated user. You cannot delete a public package if any version of the package has more than 5,000 downloads. In this scenario, contact GitHub support for further assistance.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the read:packages and delete:packages scopes to use this endpoint. For more information, see "About permissions for GitHub Packages."
