How to delete unused docker images and docker containers?

Dung Do Tien Apr 12 2021 248

I used Docker Swarm to deploy my project into Ubuntu 18.0.4. After building a new docker image. Docker created some image docker and docker container temporary and unused them. It grew very fast after building a new image.

I want to delete all of them, How can I delete them faster and correct?

Thanks for any suggestions.

    I usually using the command below to delete all docker images and docker ps was unused.

    docker rm -v $(docker ps -a -q -f status=exited) && docker rmi $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q)

    After run that command you can see result as below:

    root@MyApp:~# docker rm -v $(docker ps -a -q -f status=exited) && docker rmi $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q)

    1. Command docker to delete containers with status exited and unused:

    docker rm -v $(docker ps -a -q -f status=exited)

    2. Command to delete docker image not use.

    docker rmi $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q)

    Hope it works for you.
