NAME
- gcloud container images delete - delete existing images
SYNOPSIS
-
gcloud container images delete IMAGE_NAME [IMAGE_NAME ...] [--force-delete-tags] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
- IMAGE_NAME [IMAGE_NAME ...]
-
The fully qualified name(s) of image(s) to delete. The name(s) should be
formatted as *.gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/IMAGE_PATH@sha256:DIGEST or
*.gcr.io/PROJECT_ID/IMAGE_PATH:TAG.
FLAGS
-
- --force-delete-tags
-
If there are tags pointing to an image to be deleted then they must all be
specified explicitly, or this flag must be specified, for the command to
succeed.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --account, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details.
EXAMPLES
Deletes the image as long as there aren't additional, unspecified tags referencing it:
- $ gcloud container images delete <IMAGE_NAME>
Deletes the image (and tags) from the input IMAGE_NAME:
- $ gcloud container images delete <IMAGE_NAME> --force-delete-tags
Deletes the image (and tags) from the input IMAGE_NAME, without additional prompting:
-
$ gcloud container images delete <IMAGE_NAME> --force-delete-tags \
--quiet
To easily identify and delete untagged images in a project, first filter digests that lack tags:
-
$ gcloud container images list-tags \
[HOSTNAME]/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE] \
--filter='-tags:*' --format='get(digest)' --limit=$BIG_NUMBER
Then, delete these tagless images without prompting by running:
-
$ gcloud container images delete \
--quiet [HOSTNAME]/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE]@DIGEST
NOTES
These variants are also available:
- $ gcloud alpha container images delete $ gcloud beta container images delete
