How to delete multiple docker images at once

Question

I am having multiple docker images running on my localhost. I can delete all those images by using:

docker rmi image_id

I want to delete all those images at once.Is there a way to delete all those images at once.

Can anyone help me with these?

Answer 1

Here is what you can try.

There is a command to list all the image id's i.e.,

docker images -q

To remove all the images use the below command i.e 

docker rmi $(docker images -q)

It might happen that some of the images are being used by a container. 

So, you will have to stop those containers.

I hope that the above explanation will resolve your query.
