Deleting add-on branch

Anki Add-ons
1

Hi Damien,
I have a branch of an add-on that I would like to delete, and I wonder how to do that, as there is no button on the shared upload page. I tried leaving the min/max version fields of the to-be-deleted branch empty, but it won’t let me post the form then.

Edit: To be more precise:
Branch A: 2.1.20 - 2.1.21 (this is the one I want to delete)
Branch B: 2.1.22 - 2.1.36 (keep that one)

I tried to edit A by replacing the “-21” in the second field by “36” and the “20” in the first by “22”, then uploading the addon on A. This doesn’t work, it says “Previous branch does not specify a maximum version”

Branches can’t be deleted at the moment I’m afraid.

That’s a bummer. I now have set branch A down to some very old version (2.1.1) and simply hope that no one uses that anymore.
Thanks for the fast reply :slight_smile:

if I have 3 branches and I want to go back to only having to upload one, is there a way ?

You only need to upload a branch that you’re changing. Branches targeted at older Anki versions don’t need updating unless you plan to push updates to those versions.

Any updates on this topic?

For example, I have an add-on that supports multiple Anki versions.

Supported Anki versions:
    2.1.35-2.1.49 (Updated 2022-06-27)
    2.1.50-2.1.59 (Updated 2023-04-08)
    2.1.60-2.1.65 (Updated 2023-07-06)
    2.1.66 (Updated 2023-10-24)
    23.12-24.04.9 (Updated 2024-06-16)
    24.06-24.06.9 (Updated 2024-10-10)
    24.11-24.11.9+ (Updated 2024-12-20)

I want to delete the oldest versions because I don’t maintain them anymore and I don’t want to receive any tech support questions regarding them. Is there a way?

I’ve changed the supported version to 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 for now. Maybe if there’s no way to delete a branch, it would be better if we were able to set a nonexistent version (like 0.0.0) to prevent it from being downloaded.
