## NAME
podman\-container\-cleanup - Cleanup the container's network and mountpoints
## SYNOPSIS
**podman container cleanup** [*options*] *container* [*container* ...]
## DESCRIPTION
**podman container cleanup** cleans up exited *containers* by removing all mountpoints and network configuration from the host. The *container name* or *ID* can be used. The cleanup command does not remove the *containers*. Running *containers* will not be cleaned up.\
Sometimes container mount points and network stacks can remain if the podman command was killed or the *container* ran in daemon mode. This command is automatically executed when *containers* are run in daemon mode by the `conmon process` when the *container* exits.
## OPTIONS
#### **--all**, **-a**
Cleanup all *containers*.\
The default is **false**.\
*IMPORTANT: This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.*
#### **--exec**=*session*
Clean up an exec session for a single *container*.
Can only be specified if a single *container* is being cleaned up (conflicts with **--all** as such). If **--rm** is not specified, temporary files for the exec session will be cleaned up; if it is, the exec session will be removed from the *container*.\
*IMPORTANT: Conflicts with **--rmi** as the container is not being cleaned up so the image cannot be removed.*
#### **--latest**, **-l**
Instead of providing the *container ID* or *name*, use the last created *container*. If other methods than Podman are used to run *containers* such as `CRI-O`, the last started *container* could be from either of those methods.\
The default is **false**.\
*IMPORTANT: This OPTION is not available with the remote Podman client. This OPTION does not need a container name or ID as input argument.*
#### **--rm**
After cleanup, remove the *container* entirely.\
The default is **false**.
#### **--rmi**
After cleanup, remove the image entirely.\
The default is **false**.
## EXAMPLES
Cleanup the container "mywebserver".
```
$ podman container cleanup mywebserver
```
Cleanup the containers with the names "mywebserver", "myflaskserver", "860a4b23".
```
$ podman container cleanup mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
```
