podman-system-prune(1)	    General Commands Manual	podman-system-prune(1)

NAME
       podman-system-prune  - Remove all unused	pods, containers, images, net-
       works, and volume data

SYNOPSIS
       podman system prune [options]

DESCRIPTION
       podman system prune removes all unused containers  (both	 dangling  and
       unreferenced),  build  containers, pods,	networks, and optionally, vol-
       umes from local storage.

       Use the --all option to delete all unused images.   Unused  images  are
       dangling	 images	as well	as any image that does not have	any containers
       based on	it.

       By default, volumes are not removed to prevent important	data from  be-
       ing  deleted  if	 there is currently no container using the volume. Use
       the --volumes flag when running the command to prune volumes as well.

       By default, build containers are	not removed  to	 prevent  interference
       with  builds in progress. Use the --build flag when running the command
       to remove build containers as well.

OPTIONS
   --all, -a
       Recursively remove all unused pods, containers, images,	networks,  and
       volume data. (Maximum 50	iterations.)

   --build
       Removes	any  build  containers that were created during	the build, but
       were not	removed	because	the build was unexpectedly terminated.

       Note: This is not safe operation	and should be executed	only  when  no
       builds are in progress. It can interfere	with builds in progress.

   --external
       Tries  to clean up remainders of	previous containers or layers that are
       not references in the storage json files. These can happen in the  case
       of unclean shutdowns or regular restarts	in transient storage mode.

       However,	 when  using  transient	storage	mode, the Podman database does
       not persist. This means containers leave	the writable  layers  on  disk
       after  a	 reboot.  When using a transient store,	it is recommended that
       the podman system prune --external command is run during	boot.

       This option is incompatible with	--all and --filter and drops  the  de-
       fault behaviour of removing unused resources.

   --filter=filters
       Provide filter values.

       The  filters argument format is of key=value. If	there is more than one
       filter, then pass multiple OPTIONS: --filter foo=bar --filter bif=baz.

       Supported filters:

       +--------+----------------------------+
       | Filter	| Description		     |
       +--------+----------------------------+
       | label	| Only remove containers and |
       |	| images, with (or  without, |
       |	| in   the   case   of	 la- |
       |	| bel!=[...]  is  used)	 the |
       |	| specified labels.	     |
       +--------+----------------------------+
       | until	| Only remove containers and |
       |	| images    created   before |
       |	| given	timestamp.	     |
       +--------+----------------------------+

       The label filter	accepts	two formats.  One  is  the  label=key  or  la-
       bel=key=value,  which  removes containers and images with the specified
       labels. The other format	is the label!=key or  label!=key=value,	 which
       removes containers and images without the specified labels.

       The  until filter can be	Unix timestamps, date formatted	timestamps, or
       Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the machines
       time.

   --force, -f
       Do not prompt for confirmation

   --help, -h
       Print usage statement

   --volumes
       Prune volumes currently unused by any container
