You can delete variants via the Images dashboard or API. The only variant you cannot delete is public.

Caution

Deleting a variant is a global action that will affect other images that contain that variant.

Delete variants via the Cloudflare dashboard

In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Hosted Images page.
Go to Hosted images ↗
Select the Delivery tab.
Find the variant you want to remove and select Delete.

Delete variants via the API

Make a DELETE request to the delete variant endpoint.

curl --request DELETE https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{account_id}/images/v1/variants/{variant_name} \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"

After the variant has been deleted, the response returns "success": true.
