NAME

       podman-container-cleanup - Clean up the container's network and mountpoints

SYNOPSIS

       podman container cleanup [options] container [container ...]

DESCRIPTION

       podman  container  cleanup  cleans  up  exited  containers by removing all mountpoints and
       network configuration from the host. The container name or ID can  be  used.  The  cleanup
       command does not remove the containers. Running containers will not be cleaned up.
       Sometimes  container  mount points and network stacks can remain if the podman command was
       killed or the container ran in daemon mode. This command is  automatically  executed  when
       containers are run in daemon mode by the conmon process when the container exits.

OPTIONS

   --all, -a
       Clean up all containers.
       The default is false.
       IMPORTANT: This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.

   --exec=session
       Clean  up  an  exec  session  for  a  single container.  Can only be specified if a single
       container is being cleaned up (conflicts with --all as such). If --rm  is  not  specified,
       temporary  files  for the exec session will be cleaned up; if it is, the exec session will
       be removed from the container.
       *IMPORTANT: Conflicts with --rmi as the container is not being cleaned  up  so  the  image
       cannot be removed.*

   --latest, -l
       Instead  of  providing  the container ID or name, use the last created container. If other
       methods than Podman are used to run containers such as CRI-O, the last  started  container
       could be from either of those methods.
       The default is false.
       IMPORTANT:  This  OPTION is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and
       Windows (excluding WSL2) machines. This OPTION does not need a container  name  or  ID  as
       input argument.

   --rm
       After cleanup, remove the container entirely.
       The default is false.

   --rmi
       After cleanup, remove the image entirely.
       The default is false.

EXAMPLES

       Clean up the container "mywebserver".

              $ podman container cleanup mywebserver

       Clean up the containers with the names "mywebserver", "myflaskserver", "860a4b23".

              $ podman container cleanup mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
