Delete all docker and container images

Question

I am very new to Docker and enjoy it.

I want to remove all images and containers from local as well as from docker hub. Is there one team for this?

Answer 1

To remove all containers,

docker rm -vf $(docker ps -a -q) 

-v : delete all associated volumes

-f : force deletion. For example, if any containers are running, you need to -f delete them.

To delete all images,

 docker rmi -f $(docker images -a -q) 

---

-a : for all containers, not even working (or images)

-q : remove all details other than the identifier of the containers (or images)

Answer 2

delete all containers:

 docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) 

delete all images:

 docker rmi $(docker images -q) 

Please note that you cannot return, and you cannot kill containers that work, you must stop them earlier

Answer 3

This is the command that will be used for your question. It deletes everything (container, images, cache, etc.)

 docker system prune 

A warning

 WARNING! This will remove: - all stopped containers - all networks not used by at least one container - all dangling images - all dangling build cache Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] n 

Answer 4

For me, the problem was restarting the containers. So I did: 1. docker stack ls 2. docker stack rm <xxxxxx> 3. docker stop $(docker ps -aq) 4. docker rm $(docker ps -aq) 5. docker system prune
