Feature Description

It would be nice to have an option to delete imported images by docker push command from container registry.

The description doesn't answer that question (https://docs.gitea.com/usage/packages/container)
The description of generic package registry has the deletion option, but it doesn't work for container registry (https://docs.gitea.com/usage/packages/generic). Any combination of commands don't delete the image from container registry eg:

registry url: registry.gitea.local
owner: registry

curl -k --user registry: -X DELETE https://registry.gitea.local/api/packages/registry/generic/livenessprobe/v2.8.0
package does not exist

curl -k --user registry: -X DELETE https://registry.gitea.local/api/packages/registry/livenessprobe/v2.8.0
404 page not found
curl -k --user registry: -X DELETE https://registry.gitea.local/api/registry/livenessprobe/v2.8.0
Not found.
curl -k --user registry: -X DELETE https://registry.gitea.local/registry/livenessprobe/v2.8.0
Not found.

curl -k -v --user registry: -X DELETE https://registry.gitea.local/registry/livenessprobe:v2.8.0
No response at all.

The gitea registry acts as a mirror of public registry from the internet (e.g docker.io) to speed up the deployment process tremendously.

Any ideas how to solve the issue ?

Have you added the token to your requests? Or is the token there enough permission to do that?

If you have a container package you should use appropriate api endpoint for it - in your case it would be something like https://registry.gitea.local/api/v1/packages/registry/container/livenessprobe/v2.8.0
The delete endpoint you're looking for is /packages/{owner}/{type}/{name}/{version} and for containers, type should be container.

Alternatively you can use skopeo to do it, for example skopeo delete docker://registry.gitea.local/registry/livenessprobe:v2.8.0, would delete that image from your registry.

Alternatively you can use [skopeo](https://github.com/containers/skopeo) to do it, for example `skopeo delete docker://registry.gitea.local/registry/livenessprobe:v2.8.0`, would delete that image from your registry.

The request has login and password ;)
curl -k --user registry:<- here is the password (it is not visible on this page because it is in angle brackets)
The authentication and authorization process works pretty well.

Thank you very much. It works great :)
I really appreciate your help.
