Docker Commands

Deleting images

Source : Link Problem:

You use Docker, but working with it created lots of images and containers. You want to remove all of them to save disk space.

Solution:

Warning: This will destroy all your images and containers. There is no way to restore them!

Run those commands in a shell:

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rmi $(docker images -q)

This solution has be proposed by GitHub user @crosbymichael in this issue

In case you want to delete even those images that are referenced in repositories, use

docker rmi $(docker images -q) --force

Background information:

You can see the containers on your computer using

docker container ls

When we tell docker to show us all images currently listed on the computer:

docker image ls -a

Inspecting the containers info

docker inspect <container name/id>

Deleting docker containers

docker run -d nginx

delete docker container
