If there is more 43 than one filter, then pass multiple flags (e.g., `--filter "foo=bar" --filter "bif=baz"`) 44 45 The currently supported filters are: 46 47 * until (`<timestamp>`) - only remove containers created before given timestamp 48 * label (`label=<key>`, `label=<key>=<value>`, `label!=<key>`, or `label!=<key>=<value>`) - only remove containers with (or without, in case `label!=...` is used) the specified labels. 49 50 The `until` filter can be Unix timestamps, date formatted 51 timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. `10m`, `1h30m`) computed 52 relative to the daemon machine’s time. Supported formats for date 53 formatted time stamps include RFC3339Nano, RFC3339, `2006-01-02T15:04:05`, 54 `2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999`, `2006-01-02Z07:00`, and `2006-01-02`. The local 55 timezone on the daemon will be used if you do not provide either a `Z` or a 56 `+-00:00` timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix 57 timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds 58 that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap 59 seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a 60 fraction of a second no more than nine digits long. 61 62 The `label` filter accepts two formats. One is the `label=...` (`label=<key>` or `label=<key>=<value>`), 63 which removes containers with the specified labels. The other 64 format is the `label!=...` (`label!=<key>` or `label!=<key>=<value>`), which removes 65 containers without the specified labels. 66 67 The following removes containers created more than 5 minutes ago: 68 69 ```bash 70 $ docker ps -a --format 'table {{.ID}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Command}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}\t{{.Status}}' 71 72 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED AT STATUS 73 61b9efa71024 busybox "sh" 2017-01-04 13:23:33 -0800 PST Exited (0) 41 seconds ago 74 53a9bc23a516 busybox "sh" 2017-01-04 13:11:59 -0800 PST Exited (0) 12 minutes ago 75 76 $ docker container prune --force --filter "until=5m" 77 78 Deleted Containers: 79 53a9bc23a5168b6caa2bfbefddf1b30f93c7ad57f3dec271fd32707497cb9369 80 81 Total reclaimed space: 25 B 82 83 $ docker ps -a --format 'table {{.ID}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Command}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}\t{{.Status}}' 84 85 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED AT STATUS 86 61b9efa71024 busybox "sh" 2017-01-04 13:23:33 -0800 PST Exited (0) 44 seconds ago 87 ``` 88 89 The following removes containers created before `2017-01-04T13:10:00`: 90 91 ```bash 92 $ docker ps -a --format 'table {{.ID}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Command}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}\t{{.Status}}' 93 94 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED AT STATUS 95 53a9bc23a516 busybox "sh" 2017-01-04 13:11:59 -0800 PST Exited (0) 7 minutes ago 96 4a75091a6d61 busybox "sh" 2017-01-04 13:09:53 -0800 PST Exited (0) 9 minutes ago 97 98 $ docker container prune --force --filter "until=2017-01-04T13:10:00" 99 100 Deleted Containers: 101 4a75091a6d618526fcd8b33ccd6e5928ca2a64415466f768a6180004b0c72c6c 102 103 Total reclaimed space: 27 B 104 105 $ docker ps -a --format 'table {{.ID}}\t{{.Image}}\t{{.Command}}\t{{.CreatedAt}}\t{{.Status}}' 106 107 CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED AT STATUS 108 53a9bc23a516 busybox "sh" 2017-01-04 13:11:59 -0800 PST Exited (0) 9 minutes ago 109 ``` 110 111 ## Related commands 112 113 * [system df](system_df.md) 114 * [volume prune](volume_prune.md) 115 * [image prune](image_prune.md) 116 * [network prune](network_prune.md) 117 * [system prune](system_prune.md)
