Hi @SMotlaq. Your pull request has been detected as something other than a Library Manager submission. A maintainer will need to review it before it can be merged.

If you intended to submit a library, please check the instructions and update your pull request if necessary: https://github.com/arduino/library-registry/blob/main/README.md#instructions

Hello @per1234,

Earlier, I requested a rename of my library because its name was too long and contained the word "library." @MatteoPologruto kindly solved this problem, but I received a message stating that the library was removed successfully (#4398). However, the library is still listed in the registry while removed from Arduino IDE library manager, and I'm facing some issues with it.

Initially, I thought the library was removed from the registry, so I decided to add it again (#4467). But, I discovered that it was still present in the registry. Now, I'd like to remove the library from the registry and re-add it to resolve these issues.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me resolve this issue. I'm open to any suggestions or recommendations you may have on how to proceed. Thank you for your time and support.

I understand the confusion. The way we handle a renaming in the database that populates Library Manager is to remove the data that is stored under the library's previously registered name ("PI3EQX12908 PCIe redriver library" in this case), after which the system will automatically populate the database for the new library name ("PI3EQX12908A2" in this case). So from the perspective of maintaining the database, accommodating a library rename request is the same procedure as for a library removal request. This is why the logs shared by the database maintainer said "Removing PI3EQX12908 PCIe redriver library". But those are only boring technical details to anyone other than the database maintainer. For the rest of us this is simply a name change and that is exactly what occurred:

Now, I'd like to remove the library from the registry and re-add it to resolve these issues.

As I explained, we don't allow the temporary removal of libraries as a way to resolve issues. Instead we must use a standard procedure to resolve the issues.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me resolve this issue.

I'm happy to do that, but first I need to know what the issue is. Please provide a detailed description of the issue in a comment here.

My apologies for the confusion earlier. I realized that I was searching for the new library name in the board manager instead of the library manager, which led me to believe that it was removed from the Arduino IDE! Thank you for your help in resolving this issue. There's no problem anymore, and I appreciate your support.

You are welcome. I'm glad everything is working. Thanks for taking the time to provide an update!
