Hey folks, Question on cleaning up old unused images. Working on RKE2 v1.23.16+rke2r1 I came across this for k3s: https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/1900

sudo k3s crictl
images to see what images have been pulled locally

sudo k3s crictl rmi --prune
to delete any images no currently used by a running container

Is there something similar for RKE2?

yea in k3s crictl is bundled inside of of the k3s binary in rke2. it's split back out so you can run the crictl binary directly from

/var/lib/rancher/rke2/bin/

Also you shouldn't need to do Garbage Collection manually - https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/garbage-collection/#containers-images The kubelet should handle this for you
