NAME

singularity-cache-clean - Clean your local Singularity cache

SYNOPSIS

singularity cache clean [clean options...]

DESCRIPTION

This will clean your local cache (stored at $HOME/.singularity/cache if
SINGULARITY_CACHEDIR is not set). By default the entire cache is cleaned, use
--days and --type flags to override this behavior. Note: if you use Singularity
as root, cache will be stored in ’/root/.singularity/.cache’, to clean that
cache, you will need to run ’cache clean’ as root, or with ’sudo’.

OPTIONS

		-D, --days=0	remove all cache entries older than specified number of days
		-n, --dry-run[=false]	operate in dry run mode and do not actually clean the cache
		-f, --force[=false]	suppress any prompts and clean the cache
		-h, --help[=false]	help for clean
		-T, --type=[all]	a list of cache types to clean, possible entries: all, library, oci-tmp, shub, oras, net, oci-sif, blob

EXAMPLE

All group commands have their own help output:

$ singularity help cache clean --days 30
$ singularity help cache clean --type=library,oci
$ singularity cache clean --help
