# Removing a Package

## Deprecation

Global Moderators and members of the team that uploaded the package can <mark style="color:red;">deprecate</mark> it using the `Manage Package` button on its listing page on the Thunderstore website.

* Deprecated means a package is no longer functional OR should not be used anymore for any reason (such as if a better alternative exists, or if the feature was added to the base game).
* Deprecation status is automatically removed upon updating a package.
* Deprecated mods can still be found on the website and mod manager by checking a box in the search options.
* Deprecated mods will still be downloaded as dependencies.

## Rejection

Moderators can <mark style="color:red;">reject</mark> listings in their community. Rejection is used specifically for removing packages that break global or community rules, or when requested by the package's author. If you want your own package removed contact support, but we recommend deprecating it in most cases.

* The website page for a rejected listing will 404 in the community it was rejected from. This does not apply to moderators and members of the team that uploaded the package.
* The package will no longer appear in the mod manager's mod list (but it will not be automatically removed for people who have already downloaded it).
* Rejected mods will not be downloaded as dependencies.

## Deletion

If necessary, Thunderstore administrators can <mark style="color:red;">delete</mark> a package completely. This is usually reserved for packages that contain illegal content or other serious issues. If you need a package deleted, [contact us](https://wiki.thunderstore.io/contact-us).
