Delete repository with v2 REST API? (when images, tags are removed and even GC has run)

Open davvdg opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

Hi. I've been through all the previous post about deleting images and tags using the v2 api. (#1066 , #1068 ). I'm able to delete the latest tag using the v2 rest API, run the garbage colector, restart my registry and repush the same image without having the "layer exists" message. Everything is fine. except...

I cannot remove the repository name, the one which is deplayed when running v2/_catalog Even if the images are empty with no tags and no files remaining, the name is still in the list and I don't know how to remove it. So I'm stuck with "ghost" repositories that I'd like to be removed for good. Is there an hidden REST command to do it ?

Best regards

David

Same problem here, after deletion by tag, the image name has at least one reference.

curl -s 'http://repos/v2/image/tags/list'                   
{"name":"image","tags":null}

curl -s 'http://repos/v2/nonexisting/tags/list'     
{"errors":[{"code":"NAME_UNKNOWN","message":"repository name not known to registry","detail":{"name":"nonexisting"}}]}
