Deleting a Docker image from a registry
Warning
Starting October 13, 2026, Yandex Container Registry will be unavailable to new users.

Alert
Deleting a Docker image is a deferred operation: once you delete a Docker image, its layers get physically removed after some time, which depends on total amount of data. The registry total size info will be updated 1 hour after physical removal.
To delete a Docker image from the registry, you need the container-registry.images.pusher role or higher.
To delete a Docker image:
- Go to the repository from which you need to delete the image:
- Navigate to Container Registry.
- Open the registry.
- Open the repository.
- Click next to the Docker image you want to delete.
- In the menu that opens, click Delete.
- In the window that opens, click Delete.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
To delete a Docker image, use the image ID. You can get the ID by requesting a list of Docker images in the registry you need.
