Deleting images to free up space

I've a few images that I've put into my eve-ng CE. Some of them don't work and I want to remove them from the eve-ng environment to free up the disk space. Do I just WinSCP into the EVE-NG server and delete the bad image folder from the /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu folder and EVE will recover that space? Or is there something special I have to do to let eve know I've deleted the image?

Thanks for the reply but I'm not looking to CREATE, I want to DELETE ones that I've already created that don't work. I'm assuming I just delete them from the /quemu folder but I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything special that needed to be done before deleting them.

yes to clean up space enough to delete from /opt/unetlab/addins/qemu/
