Remove all from Docker

remove-all-from-docker.sh

# Stop all containers
docker stop `docker ps -qa`

# Remove all containers
docker rm `docker ps -qa`

# Remove all images
docker rmi -f `docker images -qa `

# Remove all volumes
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf)

# Remove all networks
docker network rm `docker network ls -q`

# Your installation should now be all fresh and clean.

# The following commands should not output any items:
# docker ps -a
# docker images -a 
# docker volume ls

# The following command show only show the default networks:
# docker network ls

docker stop $(docker ps -qa)
docker system prune -a

that's all you need to remove everything

Hey this line $(...) doesn't work with fish. Is there an alternative that works everywhere?

Just drop the $, at least for that bit of fish. Or just run bash and then paste in the command.

Here's the fish version for clarity.

docker stop (docker ps -qa);
docker rm (docker ps -qa);
docker rmi -f (docker images -qa);
docker volume rm (docker volume ls -q);
docker network rm (docker network ls -q);

Hi, I tried docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf) to remove volumes but got the following message returned:

`flag needs an argument: 'f' in -f
See 'docker volume ls --help'.
"docker volume rm" requires at least 1 argument.
See 'docker volume rm --help'.

Usage: docker volume rm [OPTIONS] VOLUME [VOLUME...]

Remove one or more volumes`

I tried this instead and successfully removed all volumes:
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

After these commands I still had volumes under docker volume ls had to run docker volume prune to remove them. Reclaimed almost half a gig!

thanks

You have a typo, it should be:

docker system prune --volumes --all (note plural volumes)

Try this 👍

docker stop `docker ps -qa`
docker system prune --volume --all

This is actually plural now --volumes

thanks!!!

Thanks

This is missing:

docker builder prune

** The backtick syntax should be replaced with $()
