# Delete Package Versions
This action deletes versions of a package from [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/features/packages) except ghcr packages. This action will only delete a maximum of 99 versions in one run.
### What It Can Do
* Create a retention policy (delete all except n most recent pre-release versions)
* Delete all package versions except n most recent versions
* Delete oldest version(s)
* Ignore version(s) from deletion through regex
* Delete version(s) of a package that is hosted in the same repo that is executing the workflow
* Delete version(s) of a package that is hosted in a different repo than the one executing the workflow
* Delete a single version
* Delete multiple versions
* Delete specific version(s)
# Usage
```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
# Can be a single package version id, or a comma separated list of package version ids.
# Defaults to an empty string.
package-version-ids:
# Owner of the repo hosting the package.
# Defaults to the owner of the repo executing the workflow.
# Required if deleting a version from a package hosted in a different repo than the one executing the workflow.
owner:
# Repo hosting the package.
# Defaults to the repo executing the workflow.
# Required if deleting a version from a package hosted in a different repo than the one executing the workflow.
repo:
# Name of the package.
# Defaults to an empty string.
# Required if `package-version-ids` input is not given.
package-name:
# The number of old versions to delete starting from the oldest version.
# Defaults to 1.
num-old-versions-to-delete:
# The number of latest versions to keep.
# This cannot be specified with `num-old-versions-to-delete`. By default, `num-old-versions-to-delete` takes precedence over `min-versions-to-keep`.
# When set to 0, all deletable versions will be deleted.
# When set greater than 0, all deletable package versions except the specified number will be deleted.
min-versions-to-keep:
# The package versions to exclude from deletion.
# Takes regex for the version name as input.
# By default nothing is ignored.
ignore-versions:
# If true it will delete only the pre-release versions.
# The number of pre-release versions to keep can be set by using `min-versions-to-keep` value with this.
# When `min-versions-to-keep` is 0, all pre-release versions get deleted.
# Defaults to false.
# Cannot be used with `num-old-versions-to-delete` and `ignore-versions`.
delete-only-pre-release-versions:
# The token used to authenticate with GitHub Packages.
# Defaults to github.token.
# Required if deleting a version from a package hosted in a different repo than the one executing the workflow.
# If `package-version-ids` is given the token only needs the delete packages scope.
# If `package-version-ids` is not given the token needs the delete packages scope and the read packages scope
token:
```
# Valid Input Combinations
`owner`, `repo`, `package-name` and `token` can be used with the following combinations in a workflow -
- `num-old-versions-to-delete`
- `min-versions-to-keep`
- `delete-only-pre-release-versions`
- `ignore-versions`
- `num-old-versions-to-delete` + `ignore-versions`
- `min-versions-to-keep` + `ignore-versions`
- `min-versions-to-keep` + `delete-only-pre-release-versions`

### Delete all pre-release versions except y latest pre-release package versions
To delete all pre release versions except y latest pre-release package versions in the same repo as the workflow the __package-name__, __min-versions-to-keep__ and __delete-only-pre-release-versions__ inputs are required.
__Example__
Delete all pre-release package versions except latest 10 in the same repo as the workflow
```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
package-name: 'test-package'
min-versions-to-keep: 10
delete-only-pre-release-versions: "true"
```
To delete all pre release versions except y latest pre-release package versions in a different repo than the workflow the __owner__, __repo__, __package-name__, __token__, __min-versions-to-keep__ and __delete-only-pre-release-versions__ inputs are required.
The [token][token] needs the delete packages and read packages scope. It is recommended [to store the token as a secret][secret]. In this example the [token][token] was stored as a secret named __GITHUB_PAT__.
__Example__
Delete all pre-release package versions except latest 10 in a different repo than the workflow
```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
owner: 'github'
repo: 'packages'
package-name: 'test-package'
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
min-versions-to-keep: 10
delete-only-pre-release-versions: "true"
```

### Delete all except y latest versions while ignoring particular package versions
To delete all except y latest versions while ignoring particular package versions in the same repo as the workflow the __package-name__, __min-versions-to-keep__ and __ignore-versions__ inputs are required.
__Example__
Delete all except latest 3 package versions excluding major versions as per semver in the same repo as the workflow
```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
package-name: 'test-packae'
min-versions-to-keep: 3
ignore-versions: '^(0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.0\\.0$'
```
To delete all except y latest versions while ignoring particular package versions in a different repo than the workflow the __owner__, __repo__, __package-name__, __token__, __min-versions-to-keep__ and __ignore-versions__ inputs are required.
The [token][token] needs the delete packages and read packages scope. It is recommended [to store the token as a secret][secret]. In this example the [token][token] was stored as a secret named __GITHUB_PAT__.

repo: 'packages'
package-name: 'test-packae'
token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_PAT }}
min-versions-to-keep: 3
ignore-versions: '^(0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.0\\.0$'
```

### Delete oldest x number of versions while ignoring particular package versions
To delete oldest x number of versions while ignoring all the major package versions in the same repo as the workflow the __package-name__, __num-oldest-versions-to-delete__ and __ignore-versions__ inputs are required.
There is a possibility if the oldest x number of versions contain ignored package versions, actual package versions to get deleted will be less than x.
__Example__
Delete 3 oldest versions excluding major versions as per semver is the same repo as the workflow
```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
package-name: 'test-packae'
num-old-versions-to-delete: 3
ignore-versions: '^(0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.0\\.0$'
```
To delete oldest x number of versions while ignoring all the major package versions in a different repo than the workflow the __owner__, __repo__, __package-name__, __token__, __num-oldest-versions-to-delete__ and __ignore-versions__ inputs are required.
There is a possibility if the oldest x number of versions contain ignored package versions, actual package versions to get deleted will be less than x.
The [token][token] needs the delete packages and read packages scope. It is recommended [to store the token as a secret][secret]. In this example the [token][token] was stored as a secret named __GITHUB_PAT__.
__Example__
Delete 3 oldest versions excluding major versions as per semver is a differernt repo than the workflow
```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
owner: 'github'
repo: 'packages'
package-name: 'test-packae'
token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
num-old-versions-to-delete: 3

```yaml
- uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v2
with:
package-name: 'test-package'
min-versions-to-keep: 2
```
To delete all except y latest versions of a package hosted in a repo other than the workflow the __owner__, __repo__, __package-name__, __token__ and __min-versions-to-keep__ inputs are required.
The [token][token] needs the delete packages and read packages scope. It is recommended [to store the token as a secret][secret]. In this example the [token][token] was stored as a secret named __GITHUB_PAT__.
__Example__
Delete all except latest 2 versions of a package hosted in a repo other than the workflow
