| The `docker system prune` command is a shortcut that prunes images, containers, | ||
| and networks. Volumes aren't pruned by default, and you must specify the | ||
| `--volumes` flag for `docker system prune` to prune volumes. | ||
| networks, and unused [build cache](/manuals/engine/manage-resources/pruning.md#prune-build-cache) |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't see why build cache is linked but the others aren't. I'd be consistent and not add a link here

fair — dropped the link so it matches the other items in that sentence. |

The “Prune everything” prose only listed images, containers, and networks, while the example warning already includes unused build cache. Spelled that out (and in the page intro) so it matches real behavior, including BuildKit cache mounts.
