# Deleting Images

#### Scenarios

You can delete private images that will no longer be used.

#### Procedure

1. Access the IMS console.
   1. Log in to the management console.
   2. Under Compute, click Image Management Service.

      The IMS console is displayed.

2. Click the Private Images tab to display the image list.
3. Locate the row that contains the image, choose More > Delete in the Operation column.

   To delete multiple images:

   1. Select the images you want to delete in the image list.
   2. Click Delete above the image list.
4. (Optional) Select Delete CSBS backups of the full-ECS images.

   This parameter is available only when you have selected full-ECS images from the image list.

   If you select this option, the system will delete CSBS backups of the full-ECS images.

   If CSBS backups failed to be deleted, the cause may be that these backups are being created and cannot be deleted. In this case, manually delete them as prompted.

5. Click Yes.
