How to delete image deployment after unpinning?

I have had pinned image deployment, because of having issues. Now latest image is working fine for me and I have unpinned the image:
sudo ostree admin pin --unpin 2

Then I have checked current state with rpm-ostree status and I get:

 rpm-ostree status
State: idle
AutomaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: no runs since boot
Deployments:
● ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:stable
                   Digest: sha256:308f2addc0874bb901680a8bf8b8a817cf9e102ac3e6d40dac7a0955f42ad1df

  ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:stable
                   Digest: sha256:59119e20585df337400bf3621167a242007c48654bb5bc2070189f6952306381
                  Version: 41.20250119.1 (2025-01-19T06:00:40Z)

Now I would like to delete this image deployment. I tried with:
rpm-ostree cleanup -m 59119e20585df337400bf3621167a242007c48654bb5bc2070189f6952306381 then I have reboot Linux and rpm-ostree status still shows all three image deployments.

How to delete last image deployment?

Hey,

You can use rpm-ostree cleanup --remove 2 to do that.

The -m option deletes cached RPM repository metadata only.

It looks like that command deletes all of the rollback image deployments, not just last one. :slight_smile:

rpm-ostree status
State: idle
AutomaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: no runs since boot
Deployments:
● ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin:stable
                   Digest: sha256:308f2addc0874bb901680a8bf8b8a817cf9e102ac3e6d40dac7a0955f42ad1df
                  Version: 41.20250209.1 (2025-02-09T06:02:01Z)

In this case it is no harm, because my latest image is bootable.

  1. rpm-ostree status, note the index number of the target deployment.

  2. sudo ostree admin undeploy n, with n being the index number of the target deployment.
