💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one's a little chaotic but honestly iconic.

containers-storage-delete-layer — it deletes a layer. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's focused, she's got main character energy and one single task 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

containers-storage delete-layer layerNameOrID

so like, you run the containers-storage command, you tell her delete-layer, and then you hand her either a layerName or a layerID — she'll take either one, she's flexible like that 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the vibe check: this command deletes a layer. but — and this is the important part, no cap — she's picky about it. she will only actually delete that layer if all three of these are true:

  • the layer is not currently being used by any images, and
  • the layer is not currently being used by any containers, and
  • the layer is not the parent of any other layers.

if any of that is going on? nope. she's not doing it. that layer is booked and busy and she respects the commitments 😌

not me explaining it like it's a situationship, but fr fr: a layer that's still in use or still raising other layers cannot be deleted. periodt.

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

want to see her in action? here you go:

look at her go. so clean. so effortless. she ate 💖

sign-off time 🎀 — this little page is from way back in August 2016, and she goes by the manual name containers...elete-layer(1). a vintage queen. she's been out here deleting layers since before some of us could even read. mwah 💜
