I want to know how can i delete the repository and tag from the registry with v2 REST API, seems currently only the image itself can be deleted, if there any api for this? thx.

v2 registry questions should be asked in docker/distribution

Currently there is no tag delete API method, with the intent being to keep the delete method "safe" in that it only can reference an absolute image manifest instead of a mutable tag, especially in the case of eventually-consistent storage backends.

It's not in the v2 REST API, but if you absolutely need to delete a repository from your storage backend you can instantiate a Vacuum (https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/registry/storage/vacuum.go) with a configured StorageDriver and call the RemoveRepository method on it.
