How do i delete all docker containers?
-
Note: You only want to do this if you're in testing or development, generally not a good idea to run these command in live/prod environments, but you knew that already?
Delete all containers
$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rm is the usual command to remove containers, The $(docker ps -a -q) provides list of container ids to remove.
For example, correct input for our original command.
$ docker ps -a -q b26ec3bc4816
Take the -q for quite off and you get this. not the right input for our initial command.
$ docker ps -a CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES b26ec3bc4816 hello-world "/hello" 9 seconds ago Exited (0) 8 seconds ago unruffled_jang
