NAME

7       ume data

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.

46       ┌───────┬────────────────────────────┐
47       │Filter │ Description                │

50       │       │ images, with (or  without, │
51       │       │ in   the   case   of   la‐ │
52       │       │ bel!=[...]  is  used)  the │
53       │       │ specified labels.          │
54       ├───────┼────────────────────────────┤
55       │until  │ Only remove containers and │
56       │       │ images   created    before │

60       The  label  filter  accepts  two  formats.  One is the label=key or la‐
61       bel=key=value, which removes containers and images with  the  specified
62       labels.  The  other format is the label!=key or label!=key=value, which
63       removes containers and images without the specified labels.
64
65
66       The until filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps,  or
67       Go  duration  strings  (e.g.  10m,  1h30m) computed relative to the ma‐
68       chine’s time.
