I think “rmosdistro rocky8.6-x86_64” is suppose to remove everything under
“/install/rocky8.6/x86_64”
If you also wish to remove the osimage definitions, you can use “rmdef -t
osimage <osimage name>”

I got this when I tried the following command: [root@ rh8-mgmt ~]# rmosdistro
rocky8. 6-x86_64 Error: [rh8-mgmt]: rmosdistro: failed to remove rocky8.
6-x86_64, it is referenced by osimages: rocky8.

I got this when I tried the following command:
[root@rh8-mgmt ~]# rmosdistro rocky8.6-x86_64
Error: [rh8-mgmt]: rmosdistro: failed to remove rocky8.6-x86_64, it is
referenced by osimages:

retry with -f option !
So, I tried with the -f option.
[root@rh8-mgmt ~]# rmosdistro -f rocky8.6-x86_64
rmosdistro: remove rocky8.6-x86_64 success
then I still see the distro in osimage listing:
root@rh8-mgmt ~]# lsdef -t osimage
rocky8.6-x86_64-install-compute (osimage)
rocky8.6-x86_64-install-service (osimage)
rocky8.6-x86_64-netboot-compute (osimage)
rocky8.6-x86_64-statelite-compute (osimage)
rocky8.7-x86_64-install-compute (osimage)
rocky8.7-x86_64-install-service (osimage)
rocky8.7-x86_64-netboot-compute (osimage)
rocky8.7-x86_64-stateful-mgmtnode (osimage)
rocky8.7-x86_64-statelite-compute (osimage)
and I see the rocky8.6 directory in /installl area.
[root@rh8-mgmt ~]# ls -ld /install/rocky8*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Jul 13 09:14 /install/rocky8.6
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 20 Jan 5 2023 /install/rocky8.7
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 20 Jun 27 11:04 /install/rocky8.8
is the rmdistro command supposed clear the osimage listing ( above ) ,
directory from /install and clear out other references of this distro/osimage?
If not, what is the right way to do this?
thanks.

For diskless, you can use "rmimage" command.
For diskful, you can try "rmosdistro" command.

Hi everyone,
I am in need of cleaning up some of my old OS images from one of my mgmt nodes.
I am sure you all have done it before, but I have not.
What are your recommendations to do this?
thank you, as always!
