If you are using Docker-Machine, make sure your are talking to the right one. Execute the command docker-machine ls to find which one is currently active. It is also recommended to always redo the command:
`eval "$(docker-machine env <docker machine name>)" `
Note: Deleting volumes will wipe out their data. Back up any data that you need before deleting a container.

`docker-compose down`
Delete all containers using the following command:
`docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)`
Delete all volumes using the following command:
`docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)`
Restart the containers using the following command:
`docker-compose up -d`
