docker rmi $(docker images -q -f dangling=true) |
The docs say docker prune "removes all dangling images". And it even issues a warning "this will remove all dangling images". So why does it not remove mine?
ubuntu@ip-172-31-26-48:~$ docker image prune
WARNING! This will remove all dangling images.

@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
