[ops][glance] How to remove images stuck in 'deleted'

Hi

I have a few old images that for some reasons are stuck in the deleted
state, and I would like to remove them


Since a simple "openstack image delete <id>" can't be used [*], is it safe
to set images.deleted to '1' in the glance db and then remove the relevant
file in the backend ?
Or are there better/safer options ?

I am now running OpenStack Rocky

Thanks, Massimo
