Guidelines on Extension Requests

Deleting Extensions

Deleting Selected Versions

When only a subset of the available versions are deleted, the extension remains available. In case an extension with an alias is removed (latest or preview), the alias is automatically reassigned. The latest alias points to the highest version number that is not marked as preview, while preview points to the highest version number that is marked as preview.

Deleting All Versions

When all versions of an extension are deleted, the whole extension with associated metadata (e.g. download count, user ratings) is deleted. That means all requests to the extension id, which consists of the combination of namespace and extension name, will fail. There should be good reasons for doing this.

Extensions can depend on each other in two ways: via extensionDependencies and extensionPack (see Extension Manifest). It is not possible to delete all versions of an extension if there are other extensions that depend on it. Those dependent extensions would need to be deleted first. This may require an admin or requester to reach out to the owner(s) of the dependent extensions.
