-.TH WIMLIB-IMAGEX "1" "August 2016" "wimlib 1.10.0" "User Commands"
-.SH NAME
-wimlib-imagex-delete \- Delete an image from a WIM archive
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBwimlib-imagex delete\fR \fIWIMFILE\fR \fIIMAGE\fR [\fIOPTION\fR...]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBwimlib-imagex delete\fR deletes the specified image from the Windows Imaging (WIM)
-file \fIWIMFILE\fR.
-This command is also available as simply \fBwimdelete\fR if the appropriate hard
-link or batch file has been installed.
-.PP
-\fIIMAGE\fR specifies the WIM image in \fIWIMFILE\fR to delete. 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
-\fBwimlib-imagex info\fR (1) command to show what images a WIM file
-contains.
-.SH NOTES
-By default, the WIM file is rebuilt with all unnecessary file data removed.
-This is different from Microsoft's ImageX and DISM, 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).
-.PP
-Also wimlib allows you to delete all the images from a WIM and have a WIM with 0
-images, although such a file wouldn't be very useful.
-.PP
-\fBwimlib-imagex delete\fR does not support split WIMs.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP 6
-\fB--check\fR
-When reading \fIWIMFILE\fR, verify its integrity if the integrity table is
-present; additionally, when rewriting \fIWIMFILE\fR after the specified image
-was deleted, always write an integrity table. If this option is not specified,
-the integrity of \fIWIMFILE\fR 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.
-.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 no space will be
-saved by deleting an image in this way.
-.IP ""
-You may use \fBwimlib-imagex optimize\fR to delete unreferenced streams from a WIM that
-has had images soft-deleted from it.
-.TP
-\fB--unsafe-compact\fR
-Compact the WIM archive in-place, eliminating "holes". In general, this option
-should \fInot\fR be used because a failed or interrupted compaction will corrupt
-the WIM archive. For more information, see the documentation for this option in
-\fBwimlib-imagex-optimize\fR (1).
-.SH EXAMPLES
-Delete the first image from 'boot.wim':
