I have a package on CTAN that was created as a demo and is not usefull anymore since other packages have a much better functionality. I do not want to support this package and therefore want to remove it from CTAN.

What is the process to remove a package from CTAN? The only way I could find is to upload a new version without any package and comment to remove the package.

    I think if you contact CTAN by email they can remove it for you or at least move it to the obsolete branch and change its status to unmaintained. – Alan Munn Mar 03 '23 at 14:29

    simply write the CTAN team. They will do whatever you want to do with your package (remove completly, change to unmaintained, move to obsolete ...) – Ulrike Fischer Mar 03 '23 at 14:37
