@MBlagui you're my hero for this
docker container prune works well too, thanks!
docker container prune ; docker images prune
The docs say docker prune "removes all dangling images". And it even issues a warning "this will remove all dangling images". So why does it not remove mine?
ubuntu@ip-172-31-26-48:~$ docker image prune
WARNING! This will remove all dangling images.
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y
Total reclaimed space: 0 B

@simonm3 you probably want to run docker container prune - otherwise docker still thinks they are being run by a stopped container
docker rmi -f $(docker images --quiet --filter "dangling=true")
nice jobs
Some images can't be removed without -f option
docker images --quiet --filter=dangling=true | xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rmi -f
This works perfect, does the job
