 .SH NAME

 .SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBimagex delete\fR \fIWIMFILE\fR (\fIIMAGE_NUM\fR | \fIIMAGE_NAME\fR | all ) [--check]
+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ delete\fR \fIWIMFILE\fR \fIIMAGE\fR [--check]
 
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .PP
 
-\fBimagex delete\fR deletes the specified image from \fIWIMFILE\fR.
+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ delete\fR deletes the specified image from the Windows Imaging (WIM)
+file \fIWIMFILE\fR.
 
-The image to delete may be specified by \fIIMAGE_NUM\fR, which must be an
-integer that is an index of an image in the WIM file, starting at 1.
-Alternatively, it may be the name of an image in the WIM file, or the keyword
-"all", which specifies that all images are to be deleted.
+\fIIMAGE\fR specifies the WIM image 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 \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ info\fR (1)
+command to show what images a WIM file contains.
 
-The WIM file is recreated with all unnecessary file resources removed.  This is
-different from imagex.exe, which only will delete the metadata and XML entries
-for this operation.
+.SH NOTES
 
-Also, unlike 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.
+By default, the WIM file is rebuilt with all unnecessary file data removed.
+This is different from Microsoft's imagex.exe, which only will delete the
+directory tree metadata and XML data for this operation.  (See the \fB--soft\fR
+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.

+\fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ delete\fR does not support split WIMs.
 
 .SH OPTIONS
 .TP 6
@@ -29,6 +35,28 @@ When reading \fIWIMFILE\fR, verify its integrity if the integrity table is
 present; additionally, when rewriting \fIWIMFILE\fR after the specified image was
 deleted, write an integrity table.  If this option is not specified, no integrity
 table is included in the new WIM file, even if there was one before.
+.TP 6
+\fB--soft\fR
+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
+referenced.  This is probably not what you want, because almost no space will be
+saved by deleting an image in this way.
+
+You may use \fB@IMAGEX_PROGNAME@ optimize\fR to delete unreferenced streams from a WIM that
+has had images soft-deleted from it.
