buildah-rmi(1)		    General Commands Manual		buildah-rmi(1)

NAME
       buildah-rmi - Removes one or more images.

SYNOPSIS
       buildah rmi [image ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Removes	one  or	more locally stored images.  Passing an	argument image
       deletes it, along with any of its dangling (untagged) parent images.

LIMITATIONS
	      	If the image was pushed	to a directory path using  the	'dir:'
		transport,  the	rmi command can	not remove the image. Instead,
		standard file system commands should be	used.

	      	If imageID is a	name, but does not include  a  registry	 name,
		buildah	 will attempt to find and remove the named image using
		the registry name localhost, if	no such	 image	is  found,  it
		will search for	the intended image by attempting to expand the
		given  name using the names of registries provided in the sys-
		tem's registries configuration file, registries.conf.

	      	If the imageID refers to a manifest list or image index,  this
		command	will not do what you expect!  This command will	remove
		the images associated with the manifest	list or	index (not the
		manifest  list/image  index  itself).  To remove that, use the
		buildah	manifest rm subcommand instead.

OPTIONS
       --all, -a

       All local images	will be	removed	from the system	that do	not have  con-
       tainers using the image as a reference image.  An image name or id can-
       not  be	provided when this option is used. Read/Only images configured
       by modifying the	"additionalimagestores"	in  the	 /etc/containers/stor-
       age.conf	file, can not be removed.

       --force,	-f

       This  option will cause Buildah to remove all containers	that are using
       the image before	removing the image from	the system.

       --prune,	-p

       All local images	will be	removed	from the system	that do	not have a tag
       and do not have a child image pointing to them.	An image  name	or  id
       cannot be provided when this option is used.

EXAMPLE
       buildah rmi imageID

       buildah rmi --all

       buildah rmi --all --force

       buildah rmi --prune

       buildah rmi --force imageID

       buildah rmi imageID1 imageID2 imageID3

Files
       registries.conf (/etc/containers/registries.conf)

       registries.conf	is  the	 configuration file which specifies which con-
       tainer registries should	be consulted when completing image names which
       do not include a	registry or domain portion.

       storage.conf (/etc/containers/storage.conf)

       storage.conf is the storage configuration file for all tools using con-
       tainers/storage

       The storage configuration file specifies	all of the available container
       storage options for tools using shared container	storage.
