Or we can use the below command to delete all Docker containers simultaneously. We can either use the docker container rm command to delete all the containers one by one before we delete Docker images. Inspect a container: docker container inspect.
Stop all containers: docker stop (docker ps -a -q) When a docker container won’t stop: ps aux grep docker sudo killall -9 dockerd sudo kill -9There are two ways to remove these containers. List all containers: docker container ls -all, -a. $dockerImagesToRemove = 'my-docker-image/name3', 'my-docker-image/name2')ĭon't remember to change $dockerImagesToRemove array with your Docker image names. The above command lists all the existing Docker containers. The function Remove-DockerImages just iterate through the array of image names so I will not mention it again.ĭue to we defined all our logic into functions we can just call them one by one and all work is done. Function Remove-DockerImageĪs you can see above we are also checking if there exists Docker image with the name we passed as a parameter to the Remove-DockerImage function. The Remove-DockerImage function is called from the loop in which we iterate through an array of Docker image names we have defined in string array $dockerImagesToRemove. And that's exactly what I do in Remove-DockerContainers function: Function Remove-DockerContainersĪfter the previous step, we can start removing Docker images.

If yes, we need to stop them before and then remove. Now let's look into it and explain it step by step.īefore we start removing Docker images we need to check if there are running containers. Remove-DockerImages -DockerImages $dockerImagesToRemove $dockerImagesToRemove = 'my-docker-image/name3', 'my-docker-image/name2') # Array of docker images we want to remove Remove-DockerImage -DockerImage $DockerImage The first expression stops the running containers, and the second removes all stopped containers.
Docker remove container quiet how to#
You can specify more than one docker containers while removing: docker. How to remove containers docker stop (docker ps -quiet) docker rm (docker ps -all -quiet) The -all or -a flag, when used with docker ps, lists both running and stopped containers. This is not recommended because it sends kill command and your container might not save its state. With this, you can remove a running container: docker rm -f containeridorname. Write-Host ($DockerImage + " image not exists") -ForegroundColor Red Docker gives you the -f option to force remove a container. # show mesage that docker image does not exist

Write-Host ($DockerImage + " image was removed") -ForegroundColor Green $selectedDockerImages = (docker images -all $DockerImage -quiet) Write-Host ("removing docker containers: ") $containersIds = (docker ps -all -quiet) # save containers ids into array (-quiet mean return just containers ids) There is a whole script that will stop all Docker containers than remove them and also remove our Docker images we defined in the array $dockerImagesToRemove.Ĭreate new PowerShell script remove-docker-images.ps1 and copy paste all script below: Function Remove-DockerContainers
