How to Remove Docker Images?

In order to view all of your Docker images, you can use:

docker images -a

If you want to remove Docker image or a few, you can use this command and list the IMAGE ID as shown here:

docker image rm IMAGE_ID

To remove dangling images that are most recent and untagged, we will use the “docker remove all images” command as shown here:

docker image prune

However, to remove Docker images that are present in existent containers that are also tagged, we can use this:

docker image prune –a

If you wish to remove all images, for example, that may fall under a specific time frame, use the command:

docker image prune -a --filter "until=24h"

If you want to know more about –filter flags, check out the official documentation page.
