+## NAME
+podman\-system\-prune - Remove all unused container, image and volume data
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman system prune** [*options*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+**podman system prune** removes all unused containers (both dangling and unreferenced), pods and optionally, volumes from local storage.
+
+With the `all` 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.
+
+By default, volumes are not removed to prevent important data from being deleted if there is currently no container using the volume. Use the --volumes flag when running the command to prune volumes as well.
+
+## OPTIONS
+**--all**, **-a**
+
+Remove all unused images not just dangling ones.
+
+**--force**, **-f**
+
+Do not prompt for confirmation
+
+**--help**, **-h**
+
+Print usage statement
+
+**--volumes**
+
+Prune volumes not used by at least one container
