I know you can’t remove packages from the general registry (for [good reason](https://www.theregister.com/2016/03/23/npm_left_pad_chaos/)), but is it possible to remove a package from a local registry that was set up using LocalRegistry.jl?

Yes, but I think you have to manually delete the files for the package, edit `Registry.toml`, commit and push the result.

Okay, I figured it might be something along those lines. Thanks!
