This document describes how to delete custom images.
Supports and Limits
Before deleting custom images, please note the following items:
After deleting a custom image, you will no longer be able to create instances from it, but it will not affect instances that have already been launched. If you need to delete all instances launched from this image, refer to Reclaim Instances or Terminate/Return Instances.
Shared images cannot be deleted. You must first cancel all shares before deleting them. To unshare an image, refer to Unshare Custom Images.
Only custom images can be deleted; public images and shared images cannot be actively removed.
