Filtering (--all, -a)

Use the --all flag to prune both unused anonymous and named volumes.

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:

  • label (label=<key>, label=<key>=<value>, label!=<key>, or label!=<key>=<value>) - only remove volumes with (or without, in case label!=... is used) the specified labels.

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