How may I delete an environment from azure machine learning workspace? I can create and list them but could not figure out how I may delete them?

  • Do you want to remove the environment metadata from the registry or remove the underlying docker images that are created on the ACR? – Ram Aug 18 '20 at 03:11

If you want to remove the listed item in the Environments tab of your Azure ML Studio, you can try the following command with your Azure CLI

az ml environment delete -n <environment_name> -g <Resource-group name> -w <Workspace name> -v <version of the environment>

Environments are versioned however, so you could just register over it with the new definition for now to "erase" consumers picking up the old one by default as a workaround (if you just wanted to reuse the name).

If you're interested in shortening the list of returned values, might be easier to use ws.environments["mysecondenv"] instead

Currently, Environments cannot be deleted from the GUI.

Here's what worked for me:

  1. From the CMD prompt, launch Azure CLI az login
  2. Once you verify your subscription/ RG/ Workspace, list the available Environments using the command az ml environment list
  3. Before deleting, it is a good practice to list the environment: az ml environment list --name name-of-your-env
  4. Once the enviornment is confirmed, you can delete it by using the command az ml environment archive --name name-of-your-env

Please note there wont be any output generated if the deletion/ archiving process is successful.

Instead of delete, the archive command seems to work. For more info here

You probably mean un-registering an environment because the environment itself dose not exist under your workspace, unless you build a container with this specific environment.

The answer is currently no. See here: https://github.com/Azure/MachineLearningNotebooks/issues/1201

Same is with experiments and I thinks models as well. Makes sense to me actually because you track them all together.
