NAME
    gcloud container images delete - delete existing images

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud container images delete IMAGE_NAME [IMAGE_NAME ...]
        [--force-delete-tags] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    The container images delete command deletes the specified image from the
    registry. All associated tags are also deleted.

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 \
            [HOSTNAME]/[PROJECT-ID]/[IMAGE]@DIGEST --quiet

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.
