Remove image from Replicated registry

Hi, what’s the best way to delete an old image from the registry (registry.replicated.com)?

It’s not possible to delete images from the registry, but you can push a new empty image with the same tag.

Thanks. That’s not ideal, since the tags will still show up in the KOTS vendor portal under Images forever. But here’s how I did it in case it helps someone later:

# Make empty image
cat <<EOF > Dockerfile
FROM scratch
CMD /nope
EOF

docker build -t myscratch:latest .

for i in image1:{v1,v2,v3} image2:{v4,v5,v6}
do
    docker tag myscratch:latest registry.replicated.com/myslug/$i
    docker push registry.replicated.com/myslug/$i
done

We discourage removing tags from the registry as it could break older releases of your application.
