# cargo yank

> Remove a pushed crate from the index. This should only be used when you accidentally release a significantly broken crate.
> Note: this does not remove any data. The crate is still present after a yank - this just prevents new projects from using it.
> More information: <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-yank.html>.
