docker-cleanup.md

docker kill $(docker ps -q) to kill all running containers
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) to delete all stopped containers.
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) to delete all volumes.

docker kill $(docker ps -q) && docker rm $(docker ps -a -q) && docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) && docker rmi $(docker images -q)

For fish shell, remove the $:

docker kill (docker ps -q) to kill all running containers
docker rm (docker ps -a -q) to delete all stopped containers.
docker volume rm (docker volume ls -q) to delete all volumes.
docker rmi (docker images -q) to delete all images.

Run all commands:

docker kill (docker ps -q) && docker rm (docker ps -a -q) && docker volume rm (docker volume ls -q) && docker rmi (docker images -q)

If you see “[command name] requires at least 1 argument”, there were no containers or images to stop or remove.

By default, the system prune command does not delete volumes to prevent important data from being deleted if there is currently no container using the volume. Use this --volumes flag when running the command to also delete volumes docker system prune -af --volumes.
