delete all docker container and images on windows

docker-clear.bat

@echo off
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%i IN ('docker ps -aq') DO docker rm %%i
FOR /f "tokens=*" %%i IN ('docker images --format "{{.ID}}"') DO docker rmi %%i

Saved me lot of headaches !

docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

Doesn't work here was the result

C:\Users\Administrator>docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
unknown shorthand flag: 'a' in -aq)
See 'docker rm --help'.

pmutua, that doesn't work because it's only valid on Linux or from powershell. You're trying to run it from the Windows command line.

But here are two ways to get it to work:

• you can literally run that command by passing it TO powershell on the DOS cmd line: powershell "docker rm $(docker ps -aq)"
• or if running powershell at the cmd line strikes anyone as odd, we can do a variant of the longer command originally offered at the top of this gist, but we don't need to do it in a batch file. This would work: FOR /F %k in ('docker ps -aq') DO docker rm %k
