| Deleting an image won't affect running instances that are already using it, but it will prevent you from launching new instances based on that image. |

I think we should also clarify here that "but it will prevent you from launching new instances based on that image." is only true for manually created images (i.e non-cached ones) and if instead a cached one is deleted it will simply be re-downloaded again on next use.

This is a little ambiguous - what is "a server"? This could be misunderstood as "a remote server", but you actually mean the local server.
So maybe leave it out (just "To delete an image, enter ...") or be specific that we talk about a local image ("To delete a local copy of an image, enter ...").

Also, for consistency, can you add an empty line after the heading?
