    Simple Application Server:Delete a custom image

    Last Updated:Jun 20, 2026

    You can delete a custom image if you no longer need it.

    Before you begin

    • Before deleting a custom image, create a snapshot of the instance's disk. This ensures that if a disk issue occurs, you can use disk rollback to restore the disk data to a specific point in time.

    • After a custom image is deleted, you can no longer reset any Simple Application Server instance that was created from it.

    Procedure

    1. Go to the Image page in the Simple Application Server console.

    2. Find the custom image that you want to delete. In the Actions column, choose Delete.

      Note

      If you are not sure which Simple Application Server instance a custom image belongs to, check the instance ID and name in the Image Source column.

      • If the custom image is not shared with Elastic Compute Service (ECS), click OK to delete it.

      • If the custom image is shared with ECS, select Unshare the image to ECS in the Delete Image dialog box, and then click OK.

        Important

        You must unshare an image before you can delete it. Once an image is unshared, it is no longer available in the ECS console or accessible via the ECS API. If you still need to use the image in ECS, copy it before you delete it. For more information, see Copy a shared image from a Simple Application Server in the ECS console.
