Delete Docker Images Containers

User
Delete all images and container in system docker
Assistant
To delete all images and containers in your Docker system, you can use the following commands in your terminal. Make sure to run these commands carefully, as they will remove all your Docker containers and images.

1. **Stop and remove all running containers**:

docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
   docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

2. **Remove all images**:

docker rmi $(docker images -q)

### Alternative Commands
If you want to combine the commands into a single line, you can use:

docker stop $(docker ps -aq) && docker rm $(docker ps -aq) && docker rmi $(docker images -q)

### Note
– These commands will remove all containers and images from your system, so ensure you don't need any of them before executing.
– If there are any containers using an image, you might encounter errors when trying to remove those images. To force removal of images that are still in use, you can add the `-f` flag to the `docker rmi` command:

docker rmi -f $(docker images -q)

### Cleanup Command
For a more comprehensive cleanup, you can also use:

docker system prune -a --volumes

This command will remove all stopped containers, unused networks, and dangling images, along with volumes.
