Justin Chadwell 12a6eb5b22 docs: add correct definition of prune --all flag
The previous definition was the same as the docker images prune command
and referenced dangling images, which isn't what the command does. This
commit brings the command description more inline with the buildctl
definition.

Additionally, add some more description of what the various flags do in
our reference pages.

buildx prune

docker buildx prune

Remove build cache

Options

Name Type Default Description
-a, --all Include internal/frontend images
--builder string Override the configured builder instance
--filter filter Provide filter values (e.g., until=24h)
-f, --force Do not prompt for confirmation
--keep-storage bytes 0 Amount of disk space to keep for cache
--verbose Provide a more verbose output

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

Override the configured builder instance (--builder)

Same as buildx --builder.
