Removal Targets#

-a, --all: Remove index cache, lock files, unused cache packages, tarballs, and logfiles.
-i, --index-cache: Remove index cache.
-p, --packages: Remove unused packages from writable package caches. WARNING: This does not check for packages installed using symlinks back to the package cache.
-t, --tarballs: Remove cached package tarballs.
-f, --force-pkgs-dirs: Remove all writable package caches. This option is not included with the --all flag. WARNING: This will break environments with packages installed using symlinks back to the package cache.
-c, --tempfiles: Remove temporary files that could not be deleted earlier due to being in-use. The argument for the --tempfiles flag is a path (or list of paths) to the environment(s) where the tempfiles should be found and removed.
-l, --logfiles: Remove log files.

--json: Report all output as json. Suitable for using conda programmatically.
--console: Select the backend to use for normal output rendering.
-v, --verbose: Can be used multiple times. Once for detailed output, twice for INFO logging, thrice for DEBUG logging, four times for TRACE logging.
-q, --quiet: Do not display progress bar.
-d, --dry-run: Only display what would have been done.
-y, --yes: Sets any confirmation values to 'yes' automatically. Users will not be asked to confirm any adding, deleting, backups, etc.
