# Request

> The payload is the tag byte 18 followed by the name of the image as a varint length and UTF-8 bytes, in the postcard wire format.

Canonical: https://protocol.diverge.network/2.3.0/endpoints/images-delete/request/
Specification revision: 2.3.0

The payload of the request is the tag byte followed by the request in
the postcard wire format, as the postcard reading of
[Notation](/2.3.0/endpoints/#notation) provides:

```text
[18][name_len: varint][name: utf8 …]
```

- **`name`.** The name of the image, UTF-8, preceded by its byte
  length as a varint. It is the `name` of an image in the client's
  [images::list](/2.3.0/endpoints/images-list/) listing.
- **Bytes after the request.** A server ignores every byte that
  follows the `name` field. A request whose payload extends past the
  request is not malformed.
- **Malformed.** A payload with no byte, a payload whose first byte
  is not `18`, and a payload whose bytes after the tag do not decode
  as the request are malformed. [Endpoints](/2.3.0/endpoints/) states how a
  server answers a request it cannot read.

The request is defined by `diverge-sdk-rs/src/provider/endpoints/images/delete/client/request/frame.rs`:

```rust
//! What a client's request frame carries for an image deletion.

/// Destroy an image the caller built.
///
/// # A name, and the same access model as everything else
///
/// The one field is an
/// [`Image::name`](crate::provider::endpoints::images::list::server::response::Image::name)
/// from a listing. A caller cannot delete an image it did not build,
/// and cannot probe for what exists by deleting and reading the
/// error — the provider resolves a name against the caller that
/// built it, and nothing else.
///
/// # It is not undoable and there is no confirmation
///
/// One frame destroys the image. Confirmation belongs where a person
/// is, which is above this. A caller that wants the image again
/// builds it again.
///
/// # An image in use is refused
///
/// An image a running container of the caller runs is never deleted:
/// a provider answers
/// [`InUse`](crate::provider::endpoints::images::delete::server::response::Frame::InUse)
/// and changes nothing. A caller that wants it gone stops the
/// container first and asks again.
