NAME

podman-rmi - Removes one or more locally stored images

SYNOPSIS

podman rmi [options] image [...]

DESCRIPTION

Remove all images in the local storage.

--force, -f

This option will cause podman to remove all containers that are using the image before removing the image from the system.

--ignore, -i

If a specified image does not exist in the local storage, ignore it and do not throw an error.

--no-prune

This options will not remove dangling parents of specified image
