-f, --force bool Do not prompt for confirmation

Description

Remove all unused networks. Unused networks are those which are not referenced by any containers.

Examples

$ docker network prune

WARNING! This will remove all custom networks not used by at least one container.
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y

Filtering (--filter)

The filtering flag (--filter) format is of "key=value". If there is more than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., --filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz")

The currently supported filters are:

  • until (<timestamp>) - only remove networks created before given timestamp
  • label (label=<key>, label=<key>=<value>, label!=<key>, or label!=<key>=<value>) - only remove networks with (or without, in case label!=... is used) the specified labels.

The until filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings supported by ParseDuration (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the daemon machines time. Supported formats for date formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, 2006-01-02T15:04:05, 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02T07:00, 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.

The label filter accepts two formats. One is the label=... (label=<key> or label=<key>=<value>), which removes networks with the specified labels. The other format is the label!=... (label!=<key> or label!=<key>=<value>), which removes networks without the specified labels.

The following removes networks created more than 5 minutes ago. Note that system networks such as bridge, host, and none will never be pruned:
