To clean everything (including images/containers) execute below commands:

sudo rm -Rf /Applications/Docker
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-osxkeychain
sudo rm -Rf ~/.docker
sudo rm -Rf $HOME/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker  # here we delete stored images
