Docker commands to remove all containers and images

docker-cleanup.md

docker kill $(docker ps -q) to kill all running containers
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) to delete all stopped containers.
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) to delete all volumes.
docker rmi $(docker images -q) to delete all images.

Run all commands:

docker kill $(docker ps -q) && docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) && docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) && docker rmi $(docker images -q)

For fish shell, remove the $:

docker kill (docker ps -q) to kill all running containers
docker rm (docker ps -a -q) to delete all stopped containers.
docker volume rm (docker volume ls -q) to delete all volumes.
docker rmi (docker images -q) to delete all images.

Run all commands:

docker kill (docker ps -q) && docker rm (docker ps -a -q) && docker volume rm (docker volume ls -q) && docker rmi (docker images -q)

If you see “[command name] requires at least 1 argument”, there were no containers or images to stop or remove.

Also: docker system prune --all

By default, the system prune command does not delete volumes to prevent important data from being deleted if there is currently no container using the volume. Use this --volumes flag when running the command to also delete volumes docker system prune -af --volumes.
