```csharp
public static RemoveRequest Remove(string packageName)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[string]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)): The name of the package to remove from the project.  `ArgumentException` is thrown if `packageName` is `null` or empty.

| [RemoveRequest](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/packagemanager/requests/removerequest.md) | A [RemoveRequest](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/packagemanager/requests/removerequest.md) instance, which you can use to get the success or failure of the Remove operation. |

### Remarks

`Remove()` is an asynchronous operation. Before the operation completes, you can use the `RemoveRequest` instance to monitor the asynchronous operation.

**Note:** Make sure any other Client operations have completed before calling this method. For more information, refer to the note on the [Client](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/packagemanager/client.md) class reference page.

    void Update()
    {
        if (m_RemoveRequest != null && m_RemoveRequest.IsCompleted)
        {
            if (m_RemoveRequest.Status == StatusCode.Success)
            {
                Debug.Log("Package removed successfully");
            }
            else
