## Description

Clears the build cache of the selected builder.

You can finely control what cache data is kept using:

- The `--filter=until=<duration>` flag to keep images that have been used in
  the last `<duration>` time.

  `<duration>` is a duration string, e.g. `24h` or `2h30m`, with allowable
  units of `(h)ours`, `(m)inutes` and `(s)econds`.

- The `--keep-storage=<size>` flag to keep `<size>` bytes of data in the cache.

  `<size>` is a human-readable memory string, e.g. `128mb`, `2gb`, etc. Units
  are case-insensitive.

- The `--all` flag to allow clearing internal helper images and frontend images
  set using the `#syntax=` directive or the `BUILDKIT_SYNTAX` build argument.

## Examples

### <a name="builder"></a> Override the configured builder instance (--builder)

Same as [`buildx --builder`](buildx.md#builder).
