Once you know the IMAGE ID you want to delete, pass it to the docker image rmi command. To remove all images which are not referenced by any existing container, use the prune command with the -a flag: docker image prune -a.
Removing one or more images To remove one or more Docker images, first, you need to find the IDs of the images: docker image ls. docker rmi (docker images -q) Remove all unused images.
#Docker remove container by image id download
docker container rm (docker container ls -aq) Removing Docker Images When you download a Docker image, it is kept on the server until you manually remove it. As I can see from the ratings, I am not the only one finds difficulties to follow it. Once all containers are stopped, remove them using the docker container rm command, followed by the containers ID list. Now to remove both the containers we can pass their ID to rm command i.e. Suppose we have two running containers with ID 1a600547f8f5 and 3ab005456123. By default, the container runs in isolation. PS C:\Varun> docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES We can also remove multiple containers using docker rm command i.e. If the container is started in the background, then you receive the container ID. You can also run it in the background by adding the -d option: docker run -d mysql. You can stop the execution by pressing CTRL+C.
Personally, I have found the official Docker Documentation not to be so helpful, especially for beginners. If the image does not exist, then it will be downloaded.
