# containers-storage-check(1)

Check for and remove damaged layers/images/containers

## NAME

containers-storage-check - Check for and remove damaged layers/images/containers

## SYNOPSIS

**containers-storage** **check** \[-q\] \[-r \[-f\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

Checks layers, images, and containers for identifiable damage.

## OPTIONS

**-f**

When repairing damage, also remove damaged containers.  No effect unless *-r* is used.

**-r**

Attempt to repair damage by removing damaged images and layers.  If not specified, damage is reported but not acted upon.

**-q**

Perform only checks which are not expected to be time-consuming.  This currently skips verifying that a layer which was initialized using a diff can reproduce that diff if asked to.

## EXAMPLE

```
containers-storage check -r -f
```
