## DESCRIPTION
**podman container cleanup** cleans up exited *containers* by removing all mountpoints and network configuration from the host. The *container name* or *ID* can be used. The cleanup command does not remove the *containers*. Running *containers* will not be cleaned up.\
-Sometimes container mount points and network stacks can remain if the podman command was killed or the *container* ran in daemon mode. This command is automatically executed when you run *containers* in daemon mode by the `conmon process` when the *container* exits.
