Deletes a custom image.

Description

You can delete a custom image that you no longer need. After the custom image is deleted, the simple application servers that were created from the custom image cannot be reset by using the custom image.

Note If a custom image is shared, you must unshare the image before you can delete it. After a custom image is unshared, you cannot query the custom image by using the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) console or by calling ECS API operations. If you need to use the custom image in ECS, we recommend that you copy the image before you delete it. For more information, see Copy custom images.

QPS limits

The queries per second (QPS) limit for a single user for the API operation is 10 calls per minute. If the number of calls to the API operation per minute exceeds the limit, throttling is triggered. As a result, your business may be affected. We recommend that you take note of the limit when you call this operation. For more information, see QPS limit.
