✨ containers-storage-gc — bestie's guide to the manual ✨

okay so this is a page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's about containers-storage-gc 💖 the glow-up your storage backend has been waiting for.

🌸 NAME 🌸

containers-storage-gc — garbage collect leftovers from partial layers/images/containers 🗑️✨

like... it cleans up the mess, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

containers-storage gc

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no drama, no arguments to memorize. she's lowkey simple like that 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea, bestie ☕

this command removes additional data for layers, images, and containers — specifically the data that would correspond to layers, images, and containers which don't actually exist.

so like... imagine you tried to create a layer, image, or container, and the attempt got canceled mid-way 😭. the real thing never came into existence, but some of its data was already chilling on the filesystem, just... left there. abandoned. orphaned. not giving main character energy at all 💀

containers-storage gc is the cleanup crew that comes through and sweeps all of that leftover data away 🧹✨

ngl this is genuinely useful — canceled operations can leave crumbs behind, and this is how you handle them. no cap.

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

look how easy she is:

containers-storage gc

run it. done. slay 👑

🦋 that's the whole page, bestie 🦋

no hidden sections, no secret flags, no plot twists. just a good little cleanup command doing her thing 💜

this gorgeous little manual dropped way back in January 2023, and it's page containers-storage-gc(1) of the General Commands Manual. iconic then, iconic now 💖✨🎀
