This document describes how to delete custom images.
Notes
Before deleting custom images, please note the following items:
After a custom image is deleted, it can no longer be used to start a new CVM instance, but will not affect instances that have already been started. If you want to delete all instances started from this image, see Reclaiming Instances or Terminate Instances.
A custom image that has been shared with others cannot be deleted. To delete it, you need to cancel image sharing first. For more information, see Cancel Image Sharing.
You can only delete the custom image, not common image or shared image.
