I am very new to Docker and enjoying it very much.
I want to delete all images and containers from local as well as from docker hub. Is there any single command to do that?
Remove all Containers: To remove all containers from the docker-machine, we need to get the ids of all the containers. We can simply get the ids of the containers with the command docker ps -aq, then by using the docker rm command, we can remove all the containers in the docker-machine.
To clean this up, you can use the docker container prune command. By default, you are prompted to continue. To bypass the prompt, use the -f or --force flag. Other filtering expressions are available.
Stop and remove all containers The command docker container ls -aq generates a list of all containers. Once all containers are stopped, remove them using the docker container rm command, followed by the containers ID list.
To remove all containers,
docker rm -vf $(docker ps -a -q)
-v
: Remove all associated volumes
-f
: Forces the removal. Like, if any containers is running, you need -f to remove them.
To remove all images,
docker rmi -f $(docker images -a -q)
-a
: for all containers, even not running, (or images)
-q
: to remove all the details other than the ID of containers (or images)
This is the command to be used for your question. It deletes everything(container , images, cache, etc..)
docker system prune
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
