This code forcefully removes all Docker images from your system by piping a list of image IDs to the docker rmi command.

Run example

npm run import -- "Delete all images in Powershell"

Delete all images in Powershell

docker images -q | %{docker rmi -f $_}

#!/bin/bash

# Function to remove Docker images
remove_docker_images() {
  # Get the list of Docker image IDs
  docker_images=$(docker images -q)

  # Remove each image
  for image in $docker_images; do
    # Remove the image with force option (-f)
    docker rmi -f "$image" || echo "Failed to remove $image"
  done
}

# Remove all Docker images
remove_docker_images

This code snippet removes all Docker images from your system, forcefully deleting them if necessary.

Here's a breakdown:

1. docker images -q:

   • Lists all Docker images and outputs their IDs only (using the -q flag).

2. |:

   • This pipe symbol redirects the output of the previous command (docker images -q) to the next command.

3. %{docker rmi -f $_}:

   • This is a shell command substitution that iterates over each image ID received from the pipe.
     • $_ represents the current image ID from the pipe.
     • docker rmi -f $_ removes the image with the ID $_ forcefully (-f flag).

In essence, this command efficiently iterates through all Docker images and removes them forcefully, ensuring that even untagged or referenced images are deleted.
