Public images include pre-installed software, such as scientific computing images, compiler runtime libraries, and Message Passing Interface (MPI) libraries. If public images do not meet your specific computing needs, you can create custom images from virtual machine images or container images.

When you delete an image that is synced across multiple regions, only the image in the current region is removed.
Console
On the My Application page, find the image you want to delete, and then click Delete.
In the dialog box that appears, click Confirm.
API
Call RemoveImage to delete an image.
