Hello, I published a node-red node package on [https://flows.nodered.org/](https://flows.nodered.org/),
but I want to completely remove it from there and make it unavailble in the public catalogue.
how can I do that?
quick help would be appreciated.

It depends how long ago you published it to npm.
If it was recenty enought, then you should be able to use `npm` to unpublish it. You can then go to its page on the flows library, login via the link in the top corner, and then click the 'request refresh'. That will schdule a refresh that should happen within the hour.
If you can't unpublish from npm, then the next option is to publish a new version without the `node-red` keyword - and then do the 'request refresh' as above.
Failing that, let me know the name of the module I can manually remove it.
