containers...elete-image(1)

💅 containers-storage-delete-image — the manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section for containers-storage-delete-image — yes the page header says containers...elete-image(1) because the terminal is dramatic and truncates, but you and me? we know her full name. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

containers-storage-delete-image — delete an image. that's it. that's the whole vibe. bye girl 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

containers-storage delete-image imageNameOrID

so you literally just hand it an imageNameOrID and it handles the rest. no cap.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this command deletes an image, but only if it is not currently being used by any containers. if some container is out there clinging to it, nope, not today.

and then the cascade? iconic. ✨

• if the image's top layer is not being used by any other images, it will be removed.
• if that image's parent is then not being used by other images, it, too, will be removed.
• and this will be repeated for each parent's parent. 🫶

it's giving domino effect. it's giving generational cleanup. one image leaves and the whole family tree gets a vibe check. 💀

fr fr though — read that again, because it's not just deleting one thing, it's walking all the way up the ancestry and yeeting every layer that nobody else is holding onto. main character energy with zero survivors. 👑

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

containers-storage delete-image my-base-image
