af indicates this should apply to all containers ( a) without a required confirmation ( f).

The & attribute instructs Docker to remove all stopped containers and volumes. Then, the information is passed back to the container stop command and stops all the containers. Inside the parentheses, you instruct Docker to generate a list of all the containers with their numeric ID. This instructs Docker to stop the containers listed in the parentheses.

To wipe Docker clean and start from scratch, enter the command: docker container stop $(docker container ls -aq) & docker system prune -af -volumes To remove all stopped containers: docker container rm $(docker container ls -aq) Remove All Docker Containers

Like before, this removes a container with the ID you specify. To remove a stopped container, use the command: docker container rm Note: If you are logged in as the sudo user, make sure to add the sudo prefix before both docker commands when stopping all containers ( sudo docker container stop $(sudo docker container ls -aq) ).
