How to remove unused Docker containers and images
Raw
remove-docker-containers.md

  1. Delete all containers

     $ docker ps -q -a | xargs docker rm

-q prints only the container IDs -a prints all containers

Notice that it uses xargs to issue a remove container command for each container ID

  1. Delete all untagged images

     $ docker rmi $(docker images | grep “^<none>” | awk ‘{print $3}’)

awk must use a single quote (this filters all image IDs)

I have read it somewhere
It is working , special for deleting <none> images
$ docker-machine stop default
$ docker-machine start default
$ docker images -q | xargs docker rmi
or
$ docker-machine restart default
$ docker images -q | xargs docker rmi

I recieved an error " No space left on device " since I used 100% of my iNodes. Running this command worked for me:

docker rmi $(docker images -q --filter "dangling=true")

Another way of removing all images is:

docker images -q | xargs docker rmi

If images have depended children, forced removal is via the -f flag:

docker images -q | xargs docker rmi -f

I use this script

#!/bin/bash

# Delete all stopped containers
docker rm $( docker ps -q -f status=exited)
# Delete all dangling (unused) images
docker rmi $( docker images -q -f dangling=true)

Edit

xargs with --no-run-if-empty is even better as it does cleanly handle the case when there is nothing to be removed.

#!/bin/bash

# Delete all stopped containers
docker ps -q -f status=exited | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rm
# Delete all dangling (unused) images
docker images -q -f dangling=true | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rmi

It should work from Docker Quickstart Terminal created by Docker Toolbox installer.

As of 1.13.0, see the new prune commands:

docker container prune   # Remove all stopped containers
docker volume prune      # Remove all unused volumes
docker image prune       # Remove unused images
docker system prune      # All of the above, in this order: containers, volumes, images

Bonus:

docker system df         # Show docker disk usage, including space reclaimable by pruning

In Windows using PowerShell, this might work:

If you dislike shell commands try installing docker for python with for instance pip install docker and use the following script to remove junk images

#!/usr/bin/python

import docker
dockDaemon = docker.from_env()

imgid = [I.id for I in dockDaemon.images.list() if I.attrs["RepoTags"]==[u'<none>:<none>']]

for id in imgid:
   try:
        print "Trying to remove image",id
        dockDaemon.images.remove(id)
        print "Removed image",id
    except docker.errors.APIError,e:
        print "skipping image ",id,"as this is still in use"

I am using all those commands. I am getting an error while deleting an image which has dependent containers. I would like to know is there any way of deleting images which does not have any containers associated with it. Because I am running docker rmi command from jenkins job as docker rmi $(docker images -q). This command fails when removing an image which has dependent containers and due to that jenkins job is failing. Any suggestions on this.

I have 3 ghost containers that I can't get rid of as they keep reappearing with another ID. I have tried all of the above examples even including one I found in a book which is: "docker update --restart=no <container_id or name>.
Any ideas on how I can make these go away???
Like a T-Shirt I saw "How can I miss you if you won't go away"
Thanks.

I had to remove a group of containers with a particular label and the associated images.

This worked for me on windows powershell

docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | foreach-object {docker stop $PSItem.toString()}
docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | foreach-object {$i = docker inspect $PSItem.toString() --format='{{.Config.Image}}'; docker rmi -f $i}
docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | foreach-object {docker rm -f $PSItem.toString()}

For linux:

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV")
docker rmi -f $(docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | xargs docker inspect --format='{{.Config.Image}}')
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV")

I had to remove a group of containers with a particular label and the associated images.

This worked for me on windows powershell

docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | foreach-object {docker stop $PSItem.toString()}
docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | foreach-object {$i = docker inspect $PSItem.toString() --format='{{.Config.Image}}'; docker rmi -f $i}
docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | foreach-object {docker rm -f $PSItem.toString()}

For linux:

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV")
docker rmi -f $(docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV" | xargs docker inspect --format='{{.Config.Image}}')
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q -f "label=DEV")

I put this alias in my .profile

alias docker-prune='docker system df && docker container prune && docker volume prune && docker system prune && docker system df'

Now, I can run docker-prune to clean-up all my Docker unused resources and reclaim disk space.

Stop all containers:
for i in $(docker ps | awk '{print $1}' | awk '{if(NR>1)print}'); do docker stop $i; done

Delete all images:
for i in $(docker images | awk '{print $3}' | awk '{if(NR>1)print}'); do docker rmi $i; done

Remove all docker images marked as "none" in Powershell

docker rmi ((docker images | select-string "<none>" | ConvertFrom-String) | Select -ExpandProperty "P3")

This worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04
Before deleting all the containers, force stop them:
docker ps -q -a | xargs docker stop

Then delete the containers using:
docker ps -q -a | xargs docker rm

Now delete all the dangling images using:
docker rmi $(docker images | grep “^<none>” | awk ‘{print $3}’)
