# Use Image Cleaner to clean up stale images on your Azure Kubernetes Service cluster (preview)
12

It's common to use pipelines to build and deploy images on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. While great for image creation, this process often doesn't account for the stale images left behind and can lead to image bloat on cluster nodes. These images can present security issues as they may contain vulnerabilities. By cleaning these unreferenced images, you can remove an area of risk in your clusters. When done manually, this process can be time intensive, which Image Cleaner can mitigate via automatic image identification and removal.

The deletion logs are stored in the `image-cleaner-kind-worker` pods. You can check these via `kubectl logs` or via the Container Insights pod log table if the [Azure Monitor add-on](./monitor-aks.md) is enabled.

Deletion image logs are stored in `eraser-aks-nodepool-xxx` pods for manually deleted images, and in `eraser-collector-xx` pods for automatically deleted images.
170

171

You can view these logs by running `kubectl logs <pod name> -n kubesystem`. However, this may only return the most recent logs, since older logs are routinely deleted. To view all logs, follow these steps to enable the [Azure Monitor add-on](./monitor-aks.md) and use the Container Insights pod log table.

1. Ensure that Azure monitoring is enabled on the cluster. For detailed steps, see [Enable Container Insights for AKS cluster](../azure-monitor/containers/container-insights-enable-aks.md#existing-aks-cluster).

After a few minutes, the command returns JSON-formatted information about the solution, including the workspace resource ID:
