NAME

6       podman-system-prune  - Remove all unused pod, container, image and vol‐
7       ume data
8

SYNOPSIS

11       podman system prune [options]
12
13

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  con‐
21       tainers based on it.
22
23
24       By  default, volumes are not removed to prevent important data from be‐
25       ing deleted if there is currently no container using  the  volume.  Use
26       the --volumes flag when running the command to prune volumes as well.

28

OPTIONS

30   --all, -a
31       Recursively  remove  all  unused  pod, container, image and volume data
32       (Maximum 50 iterations.)
33
34
35   --filter=filters
36       Provide filter values.
37
38
39       The --filter flag format is of “key=value”. If there is more  than  one
40       filter,  then  pass  multiple  flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter
41       "bif=baz")
42
43
44       Supported filters:
45
46
47              • until (timestamp) - only remove containers and images  created
48                before given timestamp
49
50              • label   (label=key,   label=key=value,   label!=key,   or  la‐
51                bel!=key=value) - only remove containers and images, with  (or
52                without, in case label!=... is used) the specified labels.
53
54
55
56       The  until filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or
57       Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m)  computed  relative  to  the  ma‐
58       chine’s time.
59
60
61       The  label  filter accepts two formats. One is the label=... (label=key
62       or label=key=value), which removes containers and images with the spec‐
63       ified  labels.  The  other  format is the label!=... (label!=key or la‐
64       bel!=key=value), which removes containers and images without the speci‐
65       fied labels.
66
67
68   --force, -f
