# Delete a single image by ID

DELETE https://api.fiftytwo.com/masterdata/images/v1/chain/{chain}/{id}

Deletes an image metadata for the specified chain and queues the operation. The operation is asynchronous.
The imageId is an MD5 hash (32 character hex string) of the image content.
            
The physical image file is only deleted when there are no metadata records left across ALL chains for the customer.
This allows the same image to be referenced by multiple chains without duplicating storage.
            
**Example Request:**
```
DELETE /images/v1/chain/1/7af0a3950a162be27488d0c1f292f9ab
```

- `Location` - URL to check the deletion status
