# Deleting a Container Registry in AceCloud

Sometimes you may need to delete a registry—for example, when a project is retired or when you want to clean up unused resources. This article explains how to safely delete a container registry in AceCloud.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important: A registry can only be deleted if it is **empty** (no repositories or images).
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Log in to the AceCloud Console

* Go to the **AceCloud Console**.
* Select the correct **Project** and **Region**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Navigate to Container Registry

* From the left-hand menu, click **Registry**.
* Click **Overview**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify the Registry is Empty

* Go to the **Repositories** tab and confirm there are **no repositories or images**.
* If repositories exist, delete them first.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Delete the Registry

* On the registry details page, click **Delete Registry**.
* A confirmation dialog will appear.

* Enter the **registry name** to confirm.
* Click **Delete**.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

* Registry must be empty before deletion.
* Deletion is permanent — once deleted, the registry and its repositories cannot be recovered.
* One registry per project/region — after deletion, you may create a new registry for that project and region.
  {% endhint %}
