✨ buildah-rmi(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the buildah-rmi page (that's the manual name, it's giving ✨cleanup era✨) — and no cap, this one is short and sweet but SO useful 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

buildah-prune — cleanup intermediate images as well as build and mount cache. 🧹✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

buildah prune

that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic minimalism 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Cleanup intermediate images as well as build and mount cache.

fr fr, that's the entire description — it does exactly what it says on the tin. it clears out the intermediate images and the build + mount cache so your system stops hoarding stuff you don't need anymore. lowkey therapeutic 😭💖

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --all, -a — All local images will be removed from the system that do not have containers using the image as a reference image. so like… if nothing's holding onto it, it's gone bestie 💀✨
• --force, -f — this option will cause Buildah to remove all containers that are using the image before removing the image from the system. ⚠️ yes, that means the containers go first. read it again. it's giving "no thoughts, just deletion" 🫶

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

buildah prune

buildah prune --force

see? two little commands. so cozy. so powerful. go off 👑

• containers-storage.conf(5)

🚨 bestie PSA: --force does NOT ask twice. it removes the containers using the image before nuking the image. be sure. be very sure. 🚨
