# Reduce Package Registry Storage **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
Without cleanup, package registries become large over time. When a large number of packages and
|
|
their files are added:
|
|
|
|
- Fetching the list of packages becomes slower.
|
|
- They take up a large amount of storage space on the server, impacting your [storage usage quota](../../usage_quotas.md).
|
|
|
|
We recommend deleting unnecessary packages and files. This page offers examples of how to do so.
|
|
|
|
## Check Package Registry Storage Use
|
|
|
|
The Usage Quotas page (**Settings > Usage Quotas > Storage**) displays storage usage for Packages.
|
|
|
|
## Delete a package
|
|
|
|
You cannot edit a package after you publish it in the Package Registry. Instead, you
|
|
must delete and recreate it.
|
|
|
|
To delete a package, you must have suitable [permissions](../../permissions.md).
|
|
|
|
You can delete packages by using [the API](../../../api/packages.md#delete-a-project-package) or the UI.
|
|
|
|
To delete a package in the UI, from your group or project:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Packages & Registries > Package Registry**.
|
|
1. Find the name of the package you want to delete.
|
|
1. Click **Delete**.
|
|
|
|
The package is permanently deleted.
|
|
|
|
## Delete files associated with a package
|
|
|
|
To delete package files, you must have suitable [permissions](../../permissions.md).
|
|
|
|
You can delete packages by using [the API](../../../api/packages.md#delete-a-package-file) or the UI.
|
|
|
|
To delete package files in the UI, from your group or project:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Packages & Registries > Package Registry**.
|
|
1. Find the name of the package you want to delete.
|
|
1. Select the package to view additional details.
|
|
1. Find the name of the file you would like to delete.
|
|
1. Expand the ellipsis and select **Delete file**.
|
|
|
|
The package files are permanently deleted.
