Deleting a disk image
Warning
Deleting a disk image is an operation that cannot be canceled or reversed. You cannot restore a deleted image.
Deleting an image does not delete the VMs and disks created from this image. They need to be deleted separately.
To delete an image:
- In the management console, select the folder the image belongs to.
- Select Compute Cloud.
- In the left-hand panel, select Images.
- In the line of the appropriate image, click and select Delete.
- In the window that opens, click Delete.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.
The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
