## DESCRIPTION ## DESCRIPTION
**podman system reset** removes all pods, containers, images and volumes. Must be run after changing any of the following values in the `containers.conf` file: `static_dir`, `tmp_dir` or `volume_path`. **podman system reset** removes all pods, containers, images and volumes.
This command must be run **before** changing any of the following fields in the
`containers.conf` or `storage.conf` files: `driver`, `static_dir`, `tmp_dir`
or `volume_path`.
`podman system reset` reads the current configuration and attempts to remove all
of the relevant configurations. If the administrator modified the configuration files first,
`podman system reset` might not be able to clean up the previous storage.

## EXAMPLES
### Switching rootless user from VFS driver to overlay with fuse-overlayfs
If the user ran rootless containers without having the `fuse-overlayfs` program
installed, podman defaults to the `vfs` storage in their home directory. If they
want to switch to use fuse-overlay, they must install the fuse-overlayfs
package. The user needs to reset the storage to use overlayfs by default.
Execute `podman system reset` as the user first to remove the VFS storage. Now
the user can edit the `/etc/containers/storage.conf` to make any changes if
necessary. If the system's default was already `overlay`, then no changes are
necessary to switch to fuse-overlayfs. Podman looks for the existence of
fuse-overlayfs to use it when set in the `overlay` driver, only falling back to vfs
if the program does not exist. Users can run `podman info` to ensure Podman is
using fuse-overlayfs and the overlay driver.
