• Use podman system df to get an overview for prune savings.
• Delete old, tagged, unwanted images from podman image list w/ podman rmi [imagename].
• Do a podman ps -a and ensure every container to keep features the to-keep label mnemonic for filtering. Workflow to add it follows:

Workflow to add -to-keep label:
