NAME

       podman-container-cleanup - Clean up the container's network and mountpoints

SYNOPSIS

       podman container cleanup [options] container [container ...]

DESCRIPTION

       podman   container  cleanup  cleans  up  exited  containers  by  removing  all  mountpoints  and  network
       configurations from the host. The container name or ID can be used. The cleanup command does  not  remove
       the containers. Running containers are not 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 containers are  run  in  daemon
       mode by the conmon process when the container exits.

OPTIONS

   --all, -a
       Clean up all containers.
       The default is false.
       IMPORTANT: This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.

   --exec=session
       Clean up an exec session for a single container.  It can only be specified if a single container is being
       cleaned up (conflicts with --all as such). If --rm is not specified, temporary files for the exec session
       are cleaned up; if it is, the exec session is removed from the container.
       *IMPORTANT:  Conflicts  with  --rmi  as  the  container  is  not  being cleaned up so the image cannot be
       removed.*

   --latest, -l
       Instead of providing the container ID or name, use the last created  container.  The  default  is  false.
       IMPORTANT:  This  OPTION  is  not  available  with  the  remote  Podman client, including Mac and Windows
       (excluding WSL2) machines. This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.

   --rm
       After cleanup, remove the container entirely.
       The default is false.

   --rmi
       After cleanup, remove the image entirely.
       The default is false.

EXAMPLES

       Clean up the container "mywebserver".

       $ podman container cleanup mywebserver

       Clean up the containers with the names "mywebserver", "myflaskserver", "860a4b23".

       $ podman container cleanup mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
