delete dangling docker images and remove stopped containers

--------

delete dangling docker images :

docker rmi $(sudo docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)


--------

Delete stopped containers ( and not running containers):

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
--------

Delete untagged docker images :

docker rmi `docker images | grep "^<none>" | awk '{print $3}' ` --force

If no force is used, it throws error "image is being used by stopped container"

---------

# To delete a image remotely, and it has s3-apb as its name:


ssh remotee_server 'docker rmi `docker images | grep s3-apb | awk '"'"'{print $3}'"'"' ` --force'

Having double quote with remote command is tricky. it is getting evaluated as part of local shell itself. to avoid you need use like above.
