Docker leaves dangling images around that can take up your space. To clean up after docker, run the following:
docker system prune -af
We can use the ‘until’ keyword with the ‘–filter’ option to remove objects that are created before a given timestamp or duration as shown below (objects older than 2 minutes):
docker system prune -a --filter “until=2m”
or in older versions of docker:
docker rm $(docker ps -q -f 'status=exited')
docker rmi $(docker images -q -f "dangling=true")
This will remove exited and dangling images, which hopefully clears out device space.
