# delete

The cldkctl registry artifact tag delete command removes a specific tag from an artifact in the container registry. This operation deletes the tag reference but does not delete the artifact itself. It is useful for cleaning up outdated or incorrect tags without affecting the actual artifact data.

## Usage

```
cldkctl registry artifact tag delete [tag] [flags]
```

## Aliases

```
delete, del, remove, rm
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Ensure that you are logged in. Refer to the Registry Login section.
2. Identify the Artifact ID and Tag you want to delete. You can find these details in the Registry Artifact Tag List section.
3. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
cldkctl --registry [registry name] registry artifact tag delete [tag] --artifact [artifact ID]
```

4. Replace `[registry name]` with the target registry, \[tag] with the specific tag to be deleted, and `[artifact id]` with the unique ID of the artifact.
5. Once successful, the terminal displays **"✓ Artifact tag deleted".**
