Docker makes it easy to wrap applications and services in containers, but it can also consume an excessive number of unused images, containers, and data volumes. This guide provides a quick reference to commands that are useful for freeing disk space and keeping a system organized by removing unused Docker images, containers, and volumes. The docker system prune command is a single command that will clean up any resources that are dangling, while the docker image prune and docker rmi commands can be used to remove images according to a pattern, containers according to a pattern, and containers according to a pattern.
