Cleanup Docker Trash

Over time, docker images and residual unneeded files pile up and take a lot of space.

We need to cleanup the following:

  • stopped containers
  • networks not used by at least one container
  • dangling images
  • build cache

To do that, just run:

docker system prune

It might take some time.

Enjoy a clean environment!

Sample:

WARNING! This will remove:
- all stopped containers
- all networks not used by at least one container
- all dangling images
- all build cache
