Get all VM-instances with no labels

In my Google Cloud console I have set a lot of labels on different kinds of Virtual machines. I want to clean up all the machines that have no label, since those aren't needed anymore. Is there an easy way to filter to get all those machines? When I want to filter now on labels I can only filter for each specific label.

gcloud compute instances list --filter=-labels:* will list the VM instance with no labels.

You obtain this combining the gcloud command to list instances with the filter flag.

Note the - after the equal sign, as this is the logic operator for NOT when filtering in gcloud. If you delete it, you get the list of instances with labels.
