deleteObject is a member method of the image/object itself, so you just call it from the object you want to delete, e.g.

image.deleteObject();

If your map is using custom HTML elements like in the demo, you also need to remove the div generated in your createCustomMarker method by calling removeChild in the DOM. You need to be able to access that div somehow, so I recommend modifying it to set the div's id to something you can look up later like the image's id:

// this function creates and returns a new marker element
function createCustomMarker(image) {
  // create holder
  var holder = document.createElement("div");
  holder.className = "map-marker";
  holder.title = image.title;
  holder.id = image.id; //added to make div lookup easier
  // ...
}

This modification assumes you set an id in your images, which is also recommended since you can use the getObjectById method to get the image object and call its deleteObject method.

Here's a sample function that deletes both the image and custom marker when an image ID is provided:

function deleteImage(imageId) {
  var image = map.getObjectById(imageId);
  var imageDiv;
  if (image) {
    image.deleteObject(); //delete the ammap image object
    imageDiv = document.getElementById(imageId); //get the custom marker div
    imageDiv.parentNode.removeChild(imageDiv); //remove it from the DOM
  }
}
