Overview

This node operation deletes a specific container registry repository from a GitLab project. It is useful for managing and cleaning up container images stored in GitLab's container registry by removing repositories that are no longer needed. For example, a DevOps engineer can automate the deletion of outdated container images to free up storage space and maintain a clean registry.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a container registry repository by specifying the project ID and repository ID to remove unused container images.
  2. Automating cleanup of container registries in CI/CD pipelines to ensure only relevant images are retained.
