One solution, i can think of is this. I would remove the entry that was created during token registration in the repository:https://github.com/cardano-foundation/cardano-token-registry from the mapping/ directory. Would this remove the entry entirely from the registry ?

# How can a native token be removed/de-registered from Cardano token registry

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-02-03)

We have minted and registered a native token on Cardano. Now we want to burn it, because of change of policy and remove it from the registry.

After burning the tokens how should I de-register, so that it does not appear in cardanoscan any more?
