Cleaning up after Docker

Often times you want to remove all docker images and all docker containers. When you're experimenting with images, it gets a bit painful to manually remove each image / container individually.

To remove all containers:

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

To remove all images:

docker rmi $(docker images -q)

Now when you run

docker ps -a

All containers should be gone

Running

docker images

you might still see one or two images, these will probably require the -f flag to force remove them.
