How can I delete all local Docker images?

Unix

To delete all containers including its volumes use,

docker rm -vf $(docker ps -aq)

To delete all the images,

docker rmi -f $(docker images -aq)

Remember, you should remove all the containers before removing all the images from which those containers were created.

Windows - Powershell

docker images -a -q | % { docker image rm $_ -f }

Windows - cmd.exe

for /F %i in ('docker images -a -q') do docker rmi -f %i

Use this to delete everything:

docker system prune -a --volumes

Remove all unused containers, volumes, networks and images

    - all stopped containers
    - all networks not used by at least one container
    - all volumes not used by at least one container
