Can't delete an image

[john.ou...@gmail.com]

I accidentally created a bogus image, which I'd like to delete, but I seem to be unable to do so via the Web interface:

* The bogus image I'd like to delete is urn:publicid:IDN+utah.cloudlab.us+image+homa-PG0:homa6139:17

* This is the most recent version of homa6139; I'd like uses of homa6139 to revert to the next newest version, which is version 15

* However, when I display all of my images with the Web interface, no "X" button is displayed for version 17 (but there is an "X" for version 15 and earlier versions).

Any suggestions on how I can remove this image?

Hi. Scan down the page to the last table. You will see that 6139
is listed in that table (images used by more the one profile). There
is a chevron next it. Click on that. There is version 17 and another
link to explode the list of profiles using that version of the image.

Looks like another user is using your images, so we are not showing
you a button to delete them.

Hard to know which is worse; you not being able to delete them,
or the user who is using them suddenly not able to use them.
We opt for doing nothing. :-)

I don't know anything about the profiles that appear in the drop-down list and if I try to click on them I get "Not enough permission!". I assume this means they are owned by some other user? Is there any way for me to find out who these users are, so I can contact them?

What's strange to me is that the bogus image was only created this morning; it's hard to believe that 6 different profiles could have linked to that specific version of that image (as opposed to just homa6139)  in the 2 hours since I created it.

Oh, that is cause 17 is the latest version, and those profiles are
not using a version specific image, and so they are technically
using whatever image is the most recent.

We can take this offline so we can share the user/project info
with you.
