How to Delete Custom Images

Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                    doctl auth init
                

Finally, run doctl compute image delete. Basic usage looks like this, but you can read the usage docs for more details:

                doctl compute image delete <image-id> [flags]
            

The following example deletes an image with the ID 386734086:

                    doctl compute image delete 386734086
                

Send a DELETE request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/images/{image_id}

cURL

Using cURL:

                            curl -X DELETE \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/images/7938391"
                        

Go

Using Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go:

                            import (
    "context"
    "os"

    "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
)

func main() {
    token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")

    client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
    ctx := context.TODO()

    _, err := client.Images.Delete(ctx, 7938391)
}
                        

Ruby

Using DropletKit, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Ruby:

                            require 'droplet_kit'
token = ENV['DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN']
client = DropletKit::Client.new(access_token: token)

client.images.delete(id: 7938391)
                        

Python

                            import os
from pydo import Client

client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))

resp = client.images.delete(image_id=134215)
