# Clean Exited Containers

`POST /docker/clean-exited-containers`

Remove all exited (stopped) Docker containers.

Performs a bulk cleanup of all containers in the "exited" state. This frees up
disk space and cleans up the container list. This operation is irreversible -
container logs and state will be permanently deleted.

Warning: This removes ALL exited containers, not just Hummingbot containers.
For selective removal, use the remove-container endpoint instead.

Use this endpoint for periodic cleanup of old containers to free disk space
and reduce clutter in container listings.
