Docker: Delete Image

Description

Docker: Delete Image step is used to delete one or more images.

Notes:
  • The step removes and un-tags one or more images from the host node. If an image has multiple tags, using this command with the tag as a parameter only removes the tag. If the tag is the only one for the image, both the image and the tag are removed.
  • The step does not remove the image from the registry.
