To remove all docker images or containers directly from commandline

# Need to force
# Ideally run this after removing the containers so that the images are not being used
for i in $(docker images | tail -n +2 | awk '{ print $3 }'); do docker rmi -f $i ; done


# Need to stop the container before removing it
# Instead of 'docker stop', you can also run 'docker kill'.
for i in $(docker ps -a | tail -n +2 | awk '{ print $1 }'); do docker stop $i && docker rm $i ; done

Need to force

Ideally run this after removing the containers so that the images are not being used

for i in $(docker images -q); do docker rmi -f $i ; done

Need to stop the container before removing it

Instead of 'docker stop', you can also run 'docker kill'.

for i in $(docker ps -aq); do docker stop $i && docker rm $i ; done

for i in $(docker ps -aq); do docker stop $i && docker rm $i ; done && for i in $(docker images -q); do docker rmi -f $i ; done

Much quicker / nifitier

docker rm -f $(docker ps -qa) && docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)
