how to prune unused docker volumes

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

To prune unused Docker volumes, you can use the following command:

```bash
docker volume prune
```

This will remove all volumes that are not currently being used by any container. Docker will prompt you for confirmation before deleting.

**To skip the confirmation prompt**, add the `-f` or `--force` flag:

```bash
docker volume prune -f
```

**Additional useful commands:**

1. **Prune everything** (containers, networks, images, and volumes):
```bash
docker system prune --volumes
```

2. **List all volumes** (to see what you have):
```bash
docker volume ls
```

3. **Remove a specific volume**:
```bash
docker volume rm <volume_name>
```

4. **See dangling volumes only** (volumes not referenced by any container):
```bash
docker volume ls -f dangling=true
```

**Important notes:**
- The `prune` command only removes volumes not currently in use by any container (including stopped containers)
- If you want to remove volumes attached to stopped containers, you need to remove those containers first with `docker container prune`
- Be careful as this operation is irreversible - once volumes are deleted, the data is gone

Would you like me to help you run any of these commands?
