I don't currently have an Atomic Registry up and running so I can't
verify, but I want to offer up something that I found.

According to the atomic-registry docs[0] there's use of the 'oc'
command which is inherited from OpenShift. If the 'oadm' commands are
as well, I suspect the 'oadm prune image'[1] command should satisfy
this requirement.
