> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/15398) in GitLab 12.8.
For a specific project, if you want to remove tags you no longer need,
you can create an expiration policy. When the policy is applied, tags matching the regex pattern are removed.
The underlying layers and images remain.
To delete the underlying layers and images no longer associated with any tags, Instance Administrators can use
[
garbage collection
](
../../../administration/packages/container_registry.md#removing-unused-layers-not-referenced-by-manifests
)
with the
`-m`
switch.
NOTE:
**Note:**
For GitLab.com, expiration policies are not available for projects created before GitLab 12.8.
For self-managed instances, expiration policies may be enabled by an admin in the
[
CI/CD Package Registry settings
](
./../../admin_area/settings/index.md#cicd
)
.

[
risks involved
](
./index.md#use-with-external-container-registries
)
.
It is possible to create a per-project expiration policy, so that you can make sure that
older tags and images are regularly removed from the Container Registry.
The expiration policy algorithm starts by collecting all the tags for a given repository in a list,
then goes through a process of excluding tags from it until only the ones to be deleted remain:
