NAME

       podman-image-prune - Remove all unused images from the local store

SYNOPSIS

       podman image prune [options]

DESCRIPTION

       podman  image  prune  removes all dangling images from local storage. With the all option,
       you can delete all unused images (i.e., images not in use by any container).

       The image prune command does not  prune  cache  images  that  only  use  layers  that  are
       necessary for other images.

OPTIONS

   --all, -a
       Remove dangling images and images that have no associated containers.

   --external
       Remove images even when they are used by external containers (e.g., build containers).

   --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                      │
       ├───────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │label  │ Only  remove  images,  with  (or │
       │       │ without,    in   the   case   of │
       │       │ label!=[...]   is   used)    the │
       │       │ specified labels.                │
       ├───────┼──────────────────────────────────┤
       │until  │ Only   remove   images   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.

   --force, -f
       Do not provide an interactive prompt for container removal.

   --help, -h
       Print usage statement
