DESCRIPTION

15       podman system prune removes all unused containers (both dangling and
16       unreferenced), pods and optionally, volumes from local storage.
17
18
19       With the all option, you can delete all unused images.  Unused images
20       are dangling images as well as any image that does not have any
21       containers based on it.
22
23
24       By default, volumes are not removed to prevent important data from
25       being deleted if there is currently no container using the volume. Use
26       the --volumes flag when running the command to prune volumes as well.
