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

NAME
       podman-system-reset - Reset storage back	to initial state

SYNOPSIS
       podman system reset [options]

DESCRIPTION
       podman  system reset removes all	pods, containers, images, networks and
       volumes,	and machines.  It also removes the  configured	graphRoot  and
       runRoot	directories. Make sure these are not set to some important di-
       rectory.

       This command must be run	before changing	any of the following fields in
       the containers.conf or storage.conf files: driver, static_dir,  tmp_dir
       or volume_path.

       podman system reset reads the current configuration and attempts	to re-
       move  all of the	relevant configurations. If the	administrator modified
       the configuration files first, podman system reset might	not be able to
       clean up	the previous storage.

OPTIONS
   --force, -f
       Do not prompt for confirmation

   --help, -h
       Print usage statement

EXAMPLES
       Reset all storage back to a clean initialized state.

       $ podman	system reset
       WARNING!	This will remove:
	       - all containers
	       - all pods
	       - all images
	       - all networks
	       - all build cache
	       - all machines
	       - all volumes
	       - the graphRoot directory: /var/lib/containers/storage
	       - the runRoot directory:	/run/containers/storage
       Are you sure you	want to	continue? [y/N]	y

   Switching rootless user from	VFS driver to overlay with fuse-overlayfs
       If the user ran rootless	containers without having  the	fuse-overlayfs
       program installed, podman defaults to the vfs storage in	their home di-
       rectory.	 If they want to switch	to use fuse-overlay, they must install
       the fuse-overlayfs package. The user needs to reset the storage to  use
       overlayfs by default.  Execute podman system reset as the user first to
       remove the VFS storage. Now the user can	edit the /etc/containers/stor-
       age.conf	 to make any changes if	necessary. If the system's default was
       already overlay,	then no	changes	are necessary to switch	to  fuse-over-
       layfs.  Podman looks for	the existence of fuse-overlayfs	to use it when
       set in the overlay driver, only falling back to vfs if the program does
       not exist. Users	can run	podman info to ensure Podman  is  using	 fuse-
       overlayfs and the overlay driver.
