Package cleaning in the private warehouse

Hello,

I want to remove older package versions from my private repository.
However, some packages are still installed on clients, even though a newer version is available. This is probably because the client hasn't updated since or is no longer on the network.

So I have two questions:

- If I remove an older version of a package, for example 1.0.0, and this version is installed on a client, and there's a newer version on the server, will the client still install the update to 1.0.1?

- Is there a simpler way to clean up? For example, removing/or displaying only unused packages?

Thank you :)

Hello,

1 - Yes, it is perfectly possible to remove an older version of a package without blocking updates on PCs that require it.

2 - In the "Private Repository" tab, uncheck "Latest version only," select a package, then press CTRL+A, right-click "Select obsolete packages," right-click again on one of the selected packages, and then "Remove from repository."

2bis - To see if a package is currently in use before removing it, select the package in the private repository and check "Show clients."

Regards
