<font face="courier new" size="3"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;">I think it was to look up image details based of which a given server is running.( And in case the image has been deleted now, still being able to look it up)</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;">I am not sure if we still need that now, with the ability to preserve image info on server.</p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0;">It's by design.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0;">You can see deleted images when doing a show or a list with a filter such as the "changes-since" filter. If you do a list with no filters then deleted images should not appear. I can't remember all of the logic behind this though, just that there was good reason. Obviously, it had something to do with the need to lookup an image after it was deleted.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;margin: 0; padding: 0;">Thanks for asking though, perhaps we need to make the reasoning more obvious (or get rid of soft deletes) :)</p>

<div>Is it by design that glance shows deleted images ? or is it a bug ? or am I experiencing some kind of caching  ?<br /><br /></div>
