7
8

SYNOPSIS

10       podman image prune [options]
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       podman image prune removes all dangling images from local storage. With
15       the all option, all unused images are deleted (i.e., images not in  use
16       by any container).
17
18
19       The  image prune command does not prune cache images that only use lay‐
20       ers that are necessary for other images.
21
22

OPTIONS

24   --all, -a
25       Remove dangling images and images that have no associated containers.
26
27
28   --external
29       Remove images even when they are used  by  external  containers  (e.g.,
30       build containers).
31
32
33   --filter=filters
34       Provide filter values.
35
36
37       The  filters argument format is of key=value. If there is more than one
38       filter, then pass multiple OPTIONS: --filter foo=bar --filter bif=baz.
39
40
41       Supported filters:
42
43
44       ┌───────┬────────────────────────────┐
45       │Filter │ Description                │
46       ├───────┼────────────────────────────┤
47       │label  │ Only remove  images,  with │
48       │       │ (or  without,  in the case │
49       │       │ of label!=[...]  is  used) │
50       │       │ the specified labels.      │
51       ├───────┼────────────────────────────┤
52       │until  │ Only remove images created │
53       │       │ before given timestamp.    │
54       └───────┴────────────────────────────┘
55
56       The label filter accepts two formats.  One  is  the  label=key  or  la‐
57       bel=key=value,  which removes containers with the specified labels. The
58       other format is the label!=key or label!=key=value, which removes  con‐
59       tainers without the specified labels.
60
61
62       The  until  filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps or
63       Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m)  computed  relative  to  the  ma‐
64       chine’s time.
65
66
67   --force, -f
68       Do not provide an interactive prompt for container removal.
