NAME

buildah-rmi - Removes one or more images.

SYNOPSIS

buildah rmi [image ...]

DESCRIPTION

Removes one or more locally stored images.

LIMITATIONS

If the image was pushed to a directory path using the 'dir:' transport the rmi command can not remove the image. Instead standard file system commands should be used. If imageID is a name, but does not include a registry name, buildah will attempt to find and remove an image named using the registry name localhost, if no such image is found, it will search for the intended image by attempting to expand the given name using the names of registries provided in the system's registries configuration file, registries.conf.

OPTIONS

--all, -a

All local images will be removed from the system that do not have containers using the image as a reference image. An image name or id cannot be provided when this option is used. Read/Only images configured by modifying the "additionalimagestores" in the /etc/containers/storage.conf file, can not be removed.

--prune, -p

All local images will be removed from the system that do not have a tag and do not have a child image pointing to them. An image name or id cannot be provided when this option is used.

--force, -f

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

EXAMPLE

buildah rmi imageID

buildah rmi --all

buildah rmi --all --force

buildah rmi --prune

buildah rmi --force imageID

buildah rmi imageID1 imageID2 imageID3
