podman-container-prune - Remove all stopped containers from local storage
podman container prune [options]
podman container prune removes all stopped containers from local storage.
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, with (or without, in the case of label!=[...] is used) the specified labels. |
| until | Only remove containers created before given timestamp. |
The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=key or label=key=value, which removes containers with the specified labels. The other format is the label!=key or label!=key=value, which removes containers 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 machine’s time.
Do not provide an interactive prompt for container removal.
The default is false.
-h, --help
Print usage statement.
