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`
2023-08-12 09:19:17 -04:00
flag when running the command to prune anonymous volumes as well:
2017-09-12 11:21:47 -04:00
2021-08-21 08:54:14 -04:00
```console
2017-09-12 11:21:47 -04:00
$ docker system prune -a --volumes
WARNING! This will remove:
- all stopped containers
- all networks not used by at least one container
2023-08-12 09:19:17 -04:00
- all anonymous volumes not used by at least one container
2017-09-12 11:21:47 -04:00
- all images without at least one container associated to them
- all build cache

### <a name="filter"></a> Filtering (--filter)
2016-12-07 17:02:13 -05:00
2017-10-20 13:51:17 -04:00
The filtering flag (`--filter`) format is of "key=value". If there is more
2016-12-07 17:02:13 -05:00
than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"` )
The currently supported filters are:
* until (`< timestamp > `) - only remove containers, images, and networks created before given timestamp
2017-04-10 14:08:40 -04:00
* label (`label=< key > `, `label=<key>=<value>` , `label!=<key>` , or `label!=<key>=<value>` ) - only remove containers, images, networks, and volumes with (or without, in case `label!=...` is used) the specified labels.
2016-12-07 17:02:13 -05:00
The `until` filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted
timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. `10m` , `1h30m` ) computed
relative to the daemon machine’ s time. Supported formats for date
formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, `2006-01-02T15:04:05` ,
`2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999` , `2006-01-02Z07:00` , and `2006-01-02` . The local
timezone on the daemon will be used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a
`+-00:00` timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix
timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds
that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap
seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a
fraction of a second no more than nine digits long.
2017-04-10 14:08:40 -04:00
The `label` filter accepts two formats. One is the `label=...` (`label=< key > ` or `label=<key>=<value>` ),
which removes containers, images, networks, and volumes with the specified labels. The other
format is the `label!=...` (`label!=< key > ` or `label!=<key>=<value>` ), which removes
containers, images, networks, and volumes without the specified labels.
