To remove dangling Docker containers and images
Raw
remove_dangling_images.md

This worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04 with Docker version 17.12.0-ce

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}’)
