Hey,

Would it help to store image info on the server in terms of image metadata instead of looking for a deleted image? Also this would help in terms of knowing the exact image details at the time of boot.

Thanks,
Iccha

Hi,
I'm not against to move them to another table… but removing them completely is different.
I would like to know the owner of the image (even if already deleted), how long the image 
was available,  …
All of this is valuable data even for deleted images. Especially if a security incident happens and I need to collect data for my security team.

cheers,
Belmiro
