}Delete an unused image
Deleting a platform image requires a principal acting in the platform
account with compute:DeleteImage; other accounts receive 403.
Refuses with 409 and code IMAGE_IN_USE if any instance (in any state) or instance-pool template references this image. The image is unchanged. The existing code/message error envelope has no structured details field; message names both counts, including zero, for example: “image is in use by 2 instances and 0 pools”.
An unused image transitions to status=deleting and its snapshot and base data are reclaimed asynchronously. GET returns the deleting resource until cleanup completes, then 404. A repeated DELETE returns 404, including during cleanup. Withdrawn images follow the same reference checks.

See COMPUTE permissions for policy examples.Authorizations
An OAuth 2.0 bearer token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
This is the recommended way to authenticate.
Get one by exchanging a service account's access key pair at
POST /v1/oauth/token with grant_type=client_credentials. It is the
standard client-credentials grant, so any OAuth-aware library will
obtain and refresh it for you.
curl -s -u "$KEY_ID:$SECRET" -d grant_type=client_credentials \
https://iam.basaltic.sh/v1/oauth/token
Tokens last an hour by default. The same access key pair is separately your AWS SigV4 credential for the S3-compatible object endpoint, which speaks nothing else.
