How to delete all tags of a specific image from docker registry

Following this answer I was able to delete all tags of a specific image, but the image name still appeard in the catalog running:

http://YourPrivateRegistyIP:5000/v2/_catalog

What is the way to delete the image from the docker-registry without leaving a trace?

I found that it's easier and faster to remove the entire image_name root directory from the filesystem like so:

rm -r <root>/v2/repositories/${image_name}

afterwards running the garbage collector:

bin/registry garbage-collect  /etc/docker/registry/config.yml

will clean the leftover blobs.

Deleting the image_name directory is faster then deleting every tag seperately using the API, and in addition it will also remove the image name from the catalog
