## NAME
podman\-container\-prune - Remove all stopped containers from local storage
## SYNOPSIS
**podman container prune** [*options*]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman container prune** removes all stopped containers from local storage.
## OPTIONS
#### **--filter**=*filters*
Provide filter values.
The *filters* argument format is of `key=value`. If there is more than one *filter*, then pass multiple OPTIONS: **--filter** *foo=bar* **--filter** *bif=baz*.
Supported filters:
| Filter | Description |
| :----------------: | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *label* | Only remove containers, with (or without, in the case of label!=[...] is used) the specified labels. |
| *until* | Only remove containers created before given timestamp. |
The `label` *filter* accepts two formats. One is the `label`=*key* or `label`=*key*=*value*, which removes containers with the specified labels. The other format is the `label!`=*key* or `label!`=*key*=*value*, which removes containers without the specified labels.
The `until` *filter* can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the machine’s time.
#### **--force**, **-f**
Do not provide an interactive prompt for container removal.\
The default is **false**.
**-h**, **--help**
Print usage statement.\
The default is **false**.
