Packages in project not showing in "In Project" tab.

Hey all, I want to remove a package from my project. However it doesnt appear in the “In Project” tab, where I would have the ‘remove’ button. In fact none of my imported packages appear there other than the “Unity Technologies” ones and a single “Custom Package” (I embedded the URP and it shows up there). I definitely installed the package of interest through the package manager. I prefer to remove it through the package manager as I can already forsee the headache of naively deleting the directory manually. I’ve refreshed the list multiple times. The package is not ‘in preview’. the package does appear in ‘My Assets’. Selecting ‘show dependencies’ in advanced settings didnt help.

Any tips or sure workarounds would be appreciated. I am using Unity 2020.3.16f1 Personal.

Just an update for anyone stumbling here. I didn’t solve my problem through the package manage as hoped, but solved it by just manually deleting the package’s folder in my Assets folder. Obviously good to make sure you remove any dependencies on what you plan on deleting, Along with any editor extensions and plugins associated with the package. I didn’t recieve any of the anticipated headaches from just manually deleting the folder. I also checked that the package didn’t appear in my manifest file before deleting just to feel a little more at ease.

Same problem here

This appears to be a bug in Unity 2023 because upgrading to Unity 6 fixed this for me.

I had this too and found out thanks to this thread:

that the top-right eye icon was in “strikethrough” mode, hiding Packages.

Clicking on it would enable package view.

The irony is that when searching, even selecting Packages tab doesn’t bypass this, making it very misleading as it gives the illusion that there is no match inside Packages.

Yeah same issue for me as well
