deregister_image(image_id)

As you already have the image ID you can use the code similar to the
following. amiToken is the image id in the code below -

image_to_be_deleted = conn.get_image(amiToken)
if image_to_be_deleted is not None:
snapshot_id =
image_to_be_deleted.block_device_mapping.current_value.snapshot_id
print "Deregistering the AMI image %s" % str(image_to_be_deleted)
conn.deregister_image(amiToken)
# delete the snapshot volume for this image
print "Deleting snapshot " + snapshot_id
conn.delete_snapshot(snapshot_id)
else:
print "Cannot find image %s. Please delete it manually" % amiToken
