+## 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.
+
