.SH NAME
.PP
podman\-image\-prune \- Remove all unused images from the local store

.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBpodman image prune\fP [\fIoptions\fP]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBpodman image prune\fP removes all dangling images from local storage. With the \fB\fCall\fR option,
you can delete all unused images.  Unused images are dangling images as well as any image that
does not have any containers based on it.

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

.SH OPTIONS
.SS \fB\-\-all\fP, \fB\-a\fP
.PP
Remove dangling images and images that have no associated containers.

.SS \fB\-\-filter\fP=\fIfilters\fP
.PP
Provide filter values.

.PP
The \-\-filter flag format is of “key=value”. If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., \-\-filter "foo=bar" \-\-filter "bif=baz")

.PP
Supported filters:

.RS
.IP \(bu 2
\fB\fCuntil\fR (\fItimestamp\fP) \- only remove containers and images created before given timestamp
.IP \(bu 2
\fB\fClabel\fR (label=\fIkey\fP, label=\fIkey=value\fP, label!=\fIkey\fP, or label!=\fIkey=value\fP) \- only remove containers and images, with (or without, in case label!=... is used) the specified labels.

.RE

.PP
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.

.PP
The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=... (label=\fIkey\fP or label=\fIkey=value\fP), which removes images with the specified labels. The other format is the label!=... (label!=\fIkey\fP or label!=\fIkey=value\fP), which removes images without the specified labels.

.SS \fB\-\-force\fP, \fB\-f\fP
.PP
Do not provide an interactive prompt for container removal.

.SS \fB\-\-help\fP, \fB\-h\fP
.PP
Print usage statement
