Question

Is there any command which can combine the docker stop and docker rm command together ? Each time I want to delete a running container, I need to execu

Answer 1

In my case, to remove the running containers I used

 docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) 

In case you also need to remove the images, then run docker rmi $(docker images -q) afterwards.

Only run docker rmi $(docker images -q) if you want to remove the images.

Answer 2

For removing a single container

docker rm -f CONTAINER_ID

For removing all containers

docker rm -f `docker container ps -qa`

Answer 3

To remove all stopped containers docker system prune

To stop live container, docker stop CONTAINER_ID waits 10 sec and it calls docker kill CONTAINER_ID

Or with docker kill CONTAINER_ID, you can immediately stop the container

You can use kill, and also by using rm and the force flag it will also use kill.

Answer 5

Remove all containers: docker ps -aq | xargs docker rm -f

Answer 6

You can use :

docker rm -f CONTAINER_ID

It will remove the container even if it is still running.

You can also run your containers with --rm option, it will be automatically removed when stopped.

Edit: The rm -f might be dangerous for your data and is best suited for test or development containers. @Bernard's comment on this subject is worth reading.
