NAME
wimlib-imagex-delete − Delete an image from a WIM archive
SYNOPSIS
wimlib-imagex delete
WIMFILE IMAGE
[OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION
wimlib-imagex delete
deletes the specified image from the Windows Imaging (WIM) file
WIMFILE.
This
command is also available as simply
wimdelete
if the appropriate hard link or batch file has been installed.
IMAGE
specifies the WIM image in
WIMFILE
to deleted. It may be a 1-based index of an image in the
WIM, the name of an image in the WIM, or the keyword "all" to indicate that all images are to be deleted.
Use the
wimlib-imagex info
(1) command to show what images a WIM file contains.
NOTES
By default, the WIM file is rebuilt with all unnecessary file data removed. This is different from Micro-
soft’s imagex.exe, which only will delete the directory tree metadata and XML data for this operation. (See
the
--soft
option for the other kind of delete).
Also, unlike Microsoft’s imagex.exe, it is legal to delete all the images from a WIM and have a WIM with 0
images, although such a file wouldn’t be very useful.
wimlib-imagex delete
does not support split WIMs.
OPTIONS
--check
When reading
WIMFILE,
verify its integrity if the integrity table is present; additionally, when
rewriting
WIMFILE
after the specified image was deleted, always write an integrity table. If this
option is not specified, the integrity of
WIMFILE
will not be checked when it’s opened, but an
integrity table will be written in the updated WIM if and only if one was present before.
--soft
Perform a "soft delete". Specifying this flag overrides the default behavior of rebuilding the entire
WIM after deleting an image. Instead, only minimal changes to correctly remove the image from
the WIM will be taken. In particular, all streams will be left alone, even if they are no longer refer-
enced. This is probably not what you want, because no space will be saved by deleting an image in
this way.
You may use
wimlib-imagex optimize
to delete unreferenced streams from a WIM that has had
images soft-deleted from it.
EXAMPLES
Delete the first image from ’boot.wim’:
wimlib-imagex delete boot.wim 1
