Azure
Show used storage space per repository
What is the problem you're trying to solve I want to clean up my container registry and find out which repositories use the most storage space so that I can delete the manifests with the highest memory consumption.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to see the size of the repository in the repository overview and/or in the respective detailed views and/or with the az acr show-usage command.
Additional context
Maybe something like this from the GCP
or from amazons ecr
Hi @RabbitSharp - Thank you for your feedback. We are looking into displaying ACR's usage metrics (Storage and API ops) via the Azure Metrics blade. The latest on this feature can be found here: https://github.com/Azure/acr/issues/448.
Thanks, Reshmi Mangalore
Closing this request as we are tracking it using ACR's Metrics and alerts enhancement feature https://github.com/Azure/acr/issues/448.
I'm not sure why you closed this, the request was to get metrics on the storage usage per repo. The link you've sent is just a feature asking for the usage of the whole reg and doesn't seem to be available still. When will this metric be available?
We have a use case as well to determine storage size by repository/namespace.
@mangalorereshmi Please reopen this as it was stated that it is not planned in #448 as stated by @Wwwsylvia
Alternatively #169 could also get re-opened as suggested by @StingyJack
Please re-open this as there is currently no way of calculating the actual disk space that each repository uses. All we users have access to is the sum of all manifests in a repository and that is not the actual disk space.
is there any update on this? is there a way to check the amount space an ACR is occupying or consuming?
@terencet-dev Are there any updates or alternative methods we can use to get the results?
there is a way to see the total consumption but then there is another issue not sure if I can include this here but when we try to remove a specific tag image via "az acr" command it removes all the tags instead of a specific one.
az acr run --cmd 'acr purge --dry-run --filter '''test-namespace/.*:2.3.22-rc.1''' --ago 480m --untagged' --timeout 3600 --registry shtoolsacr /dev/null
so here I want to remove image with tag name 2.22-kv.1 but instead everything starts with 2.22 gets deleted, I have even tried several regEx formats as well
After 4 years I think we can all conclude it's not gonna be developed and or happen any time soon.
Anyone that has found a quick workaround at this point?
The ACR team is currently working on introducing this capability in 2026. I will continue to provide updates in this thread.
