✨ podman-pod-prune(1) — the pod cleanup era ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the podman-pod-prune manual page and it is unhinged in the best way 🎀 it's a section of the General Commands Manual and honestly? it's giving "spring cleaning but make it containers" 🧹💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

podman-pod-prune — remove all stopped pods and their containers 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

podman pod prune [options]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, podman pod prune removes all stopped pods and their containers from local storage. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --force, -f — force removal of all running pods and their containers, not just the stopped ones 😭 the default is false, so if you don't pass this, it's chillin' and only touching the stopped/exited ones. but with -f? it's main character energy and nothing is safe. 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

remove all stopped pods and their containers from local storage 🍓

$ sudo podman pod prune
WARNING! This will remove all stopped/exited pods..
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y

it asks first, bestie. <yellow>Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y</yellow> — and then it prints a little parade of hashes for every pod it nuked 🦋
