I would delete my own images to clear up room on dockerhub, but they dont have an api to remove images. the only way is to manually click the x in the UI. So, in a lot of ways, docker forced us to "abuse" their service and store thousands of images on a free/open source account. I get this change, and it was inevitable. But its still ironic that you cant delete tour own images. The best way to delete your image is to just stop using it and let docker delete it for you in 6 months.
I agree, I have a little tool called `php-version-audit` that literally becomes useless after a few weeks without an update (you can't audit your php version without the knowledge of the latest CVEs). I have manually cleaned up old images like you say by clicking through them all, but having a way to define retention limits is a feature to me.
