# podman-network-prune(1)

Remove all unused networks

## NAME

podman-network-prune - Remove all unused networks

## SYNOPSIS

**podman network prune** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Remove all unused networks.  An unused network is defined by a network which has no containers connected or configured to connect to it. It does not remove the so-called default network which goes by the name of *podman*.

## OPTIONS

### --filter

Provide filter values.

If there is more than one filter, the **--filter** option should be passed multiple times: **--filter** *label=test* **--filter** *until=10m*.

Supported filters:

| | |
| --- | --- |
| **Filter** | **Description** |
| label | Only remove networks, with (or without, in the case of label!=\[...\] is used) the specified labels. |
| until | Only remove networks created before given timestamp. |

The **label** *filter* accepts two formats. One is the **label**=*key* or **label**=*key*=*value*, which removes networks with the specified labels. The other format is the **label!**=*key* or **label!**=*key*=*value*, which removes networks without the specified labels.

The **until** *filter* can be Unix timestamps, date formatted timestamps, or Go duration strings (e.g. 10m, 1h30m) computed relative to the machine’s time.

### --force, -f

Do not prompt for confirmation

## EXAMPLE

Prune networks:

```
podman network prune
```

Prune all networks created not created in the last two hours:

```
podman network prune --filter until=2h
```
