Remove all docker images
To delete all docker images, run the docker rmi command:
docker rmi -f $(docker images -aq)

Remove all docker containers
To delete all docker containers, run the following command:
docker rm -vf $(docker ps -aq)

If you are working on a Windows Power shell (not CMD), it is not that simple to remove all images. But don’t worry, it is not hard either.
To delete all docker images on Power Shell, run the following command:
docker images -a -q | % { docker image rm $_ -f }
