I don't see an option to delete an image. How can I delete an image in Partner Connect?

Issue

Partners that are trying to maintain image tagging continuity in their image releases may need to delete an image from their Partner Connect repository. Currently, operator and application container images that have been published to the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog cannot be deleted by the user via the Partner Connect web site or through an API. This only affects images that have been published at any point in time to the catalog.

Environment

• Project images in Red Hat Partner Connect web site

Resolution

Method 1: Push the image with an updated build tag

For example, if an image is uploaded with a tag of 1.0.0 and later found to require a rebuild/re-upload and no features were added or patches/bugfixes provided that would otherwise require a bump in the version number, then the proper way to update is to add a new image tag of 1.0.0-1. Likewise, if a second, third or fourth rebuild of the image is required, then they would be tagged 1.0.0-2, 1.0.0-3, or 1.0.0-4, respectively.

This follows the Image Tagging guidelines when using the build service.

Update operator metadata to correspond with the updated image tag and re-upload for OpenShift certification.

Method 2: Image Deletion request

If the workaround in Method 1 is not an acceptable solution, image deletion requests can be fulfilled in the next scheduled maintenance window. This operation is currently scheduled on a twice monthly cadence.

In order to request an image deletion a partner needs to open a support ticket and provide the following information:

• Docker Digest (aka "sha") number

• The Project URL

• The specific tag to be deleted

Examples from the Connect Partner Portal:

For the Docker Digest the partner can find it in:

Project → Container Project Status → Under “Actions” click “View”

Docker Digest	sha256:664a8ab6070a05c44363483bc5859ab9fecc66fc5e3ac3c3b20b9e61b26e7119

The Project URL

https://connect.redhat.com/project/<number>/view

The specific tag(s) for the image that need to be deleted

Tags are the names or numbers in the left column
