Azure Container Registry

Delete a tag in ACR repository using CLI

If you have a tag in an ACR repository that you no longer need, you can delete it using the Azure CLI. It's a simple process and just requires remembering a few property names.

If you've not logged into Azure, do that first:

az login

Then, list the repositories in the registry to find the tag you want to delete:

az acr repository list --name acrname

Next list the tags for the repository you're interested in:

az acr repository show-tags --name acrname --repository your.repository

Once you've found the repository and tag you want to delete, you can delete it:

az acr repository delete --name acrname --image your.repository:1.2.3-alpha.456789

Obviously you'll need to replace acrname, your.repository and your.repository:1.2.3-alpha.456789 with your own values.
