Body

Hello, I accidentally deleted my npm organization named hlw-zbzs.
I am the original owner of this organization.
Now I need to recreate it, but npm says that the organization name is not available.
Could you please help me restore the organization or release the scope @hlw-zbzs so I can recreate it?
Thank you.

@hlw2326
i think this is recoverable, but it needs npm support to do it. You can't self-service either a restore or a namespace release once an org is deleted.

Contact npm support directly at npmjs.com/support and explain:

• You're the original owner of @hlw-zbzs
• You accidentally deleted the organization
• You want to either restore it or have the scope released so you can recreate it

Include:

• Your npm account username
• The organization name: hlw-zbzs
• When you deleted it (approximately)

Important timing note: There's typically a grace period (usually 7 days) where a deleted organization might be recoverable by npm staff before it's permanently purged. The sooner you contact them, the better your chances of a full restore rather than just a namespace release. If it's past that grace period, they can usually at least release the scope name so you can recreate the org fresh.

Support will verify you're the original owner and either restore the deleted org or unlock the scope. This isn't something the community can action — you need npm support directly.

You’ll need to contact npm Support, as deleted organization scopes can remain reserved. Ask them to restore hlw-zbzs or release @hlw-zbzs so you can recreate it. Mention that you’re the original owner and provide the account details they need to verify ownership.
