Delete multiple docker images at a time

Question

Hi Guys,

I have installed the Docker Engine in my Linux system. I have lots of images. I want to remove these images in one click. Otherwise, it is taking lots of time to delete one by one. Can anyone tell me how can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can create your customize command to do this task. I have attached one command for your reference. It will help you to delete all the images in one go.

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

You can also create the same command to remove your docker containers.

$ docker rm -f $(docker ps -q)

I hope this will help you.
