podman-rmi - Removes one or more locally stored images
podman rmi [options] image [...]
podman image rm [options] image [...]
Removes one or more locally stored images. Passing an argument image deletes it, along with any of its dangling parent images. A dangling image is an image without a tag and without being referenced by another image.
Note: To delete an image from a remote registry, use the skopeo delete command. Some registries do not allow users to delete an image via a CLI remotely.
Remove all images in the local storage.
This option will cause podman to remove all containers that are using the image before removing the image from the system.
