+## NAME
+podman\-machine\-reset - Reset Podman machines and environment
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman machine reset** [*options*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+Reset your Podman machine environment.  This command stops any running machines
+and then removes them.  Configuration and data files are then removed.  Data files
+would include machine disk images and any previously pulled cache images.  When
+this command is run, all of your Podman machines will have been deleted.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+#### **--force**, **-f**
+
+Reset without confirmation.
+
+#### **--help**
+
+Print usage statement.
+
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+```
+$ podman machine reset
+Warning: this command will delete all existing podman machines
+and all of the configuration and data directories for Podman machines
+
+The following machine(s) will be deleted:
+
+dev
+podman-machine-default
+
+Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y
+$
+```
