Documented steps

  1. Prune build cache without prompting: docker buildx prune -f
  2. Also clear internal/frontend images: docker buildx prune -f --all
  3. Keep only recent caches: docker buildx prune --filter 'until=24h'
  4. Target a cache type: docker buildx prune --filter 'type=source.local'
  5. Let pruning self-limit cache size: docker buildx prune --max-used-space 2gb (or --min-free-space / --reserved-space)
  6. Official docs: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/prune/
