NAME

       podman-container-prune - Remove all stopped containers from local storage

SYNOPSIS

       podman container prune [options]

DESCRIPTION

       podman container prune removes all stopped containers from local storage.

OPTIONS

   --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                      │
       ├───────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │until  │ Only   remove   containers   and │
       │       │ images   created   before  given │
       │       │ timestamp.                       │
       ├───────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │label  │ Only   remove   containers   and │
       │       │ images, with (or without, in the │
       │       │ case of  label!=[...]  is  used) │
       │       │ 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.

       The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=key, 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.

   --force, -f
       Do not provide an interactive prompt for container removal.
       The default is false.

       -h, --help

       Print usage statement.
       The default is false.
