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!

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
