NAME

       podman-container-cleanup - Cleanup 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
       Cleanup 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.  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

       Cleanup the container "mywebserver".

              $ podman container cleanup mywebserver

       Cleanup the containers with the names "mywebserver", "myflaskserver", "860a4b23".

              $ podman container cleanup mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
