Docker Remove All Images

As a developer, you may often work with multiple Docker images to build and deploy your applications. It's important to keep your Docker environment clean and avoid cluttering with unused images, as it can impact system performance and storage space.

If you want to remove all the Docker images from your local machine, you can use a simple command:

docker image prune -a -f

This command will remove all the dangling and unused images, freeing up valuable storage space.

However, if you want to delete all the images, including the ones that are being used by containers, you need to follow a two-step process:

Step 1: Stop and remove all running containers:

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

This command will stop and remove all the running containers.

Step 2: Remove all images

docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)

This command will remove all the images from your local Docker environment.

It's important to note that the above command will permanently remove all the Docker images from your system, so make sure to back up the important ones before running this command.

In conclusion, keeping your Docker environment clean and tidy is essential for efficient development and deployment. The above commands will help you easily remove all the Docker images from your system, freeing up space and improving performance.
