Podman machine reset is a new command that will "reset" your podman machine environment. Reset is defined as: * Stop and Remove all VMs * Remove the following directories: - configuration dir i.e. ~/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu - data dir i.e. ~/.local/.share/containers/podman/machine/qemu When deleting, if errors are encountered, they will be batched and spit out at the end. Podman will try to proceed even in error in doing what it was told. Signed-off-by: Brent Baude <bbaude@redhat.com>

NAME
podman-machine - Manage Podman's virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
podman machine subcommand
DESCRIPTION
podman machine
is a set of subcommands that manage Podman's virtual machine.
Podman on MacOS and Windows requires a virtual machine. This is because containers are Linux - containers do not run on any other OS because containers' core functionality are tied to the Linux kernel. Podman machine must be used to manage MacOS and Windows machines, but can be optionally used on Linux.
All podman machine
commands are rootless only.
NOTE: The podman-machine configuration file is managed under the
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/podman/machine/
directory. Changing the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable while the machines are running can lead to unexpected behavior.
