Remove image(s)

docker image rm [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE ...]

• For IMAGE, write the IMAGE ID found with the docker image ls command

Docker system prune

Let's delete unused data

docker network prune
docker volume prune
docker container prune
docker image prune
docker system prune  # Remove all unused containers, networks, images (both dangling and unreferenced), and optionally, volumes.
