## How to cleanup (unused) resources

---

Once in a while, you may need to cleanup resources (containers, volumes, images, networks) ...

If you use a Docker version newer than > 1.13 you can use Dockers builtin cleanup tool `purge`.

### The new way (Docker > 1.13)

#### Network

To purge the networks ([Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/network_prune))

```Shell
docker network prune
```

#### Containers, Volumes, Images

And to purge the docker system ([Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_prune))

```Shell
docker system prune
```

{{< alert theme="info">}}
For some users the `docker system prune` command dosen't delete the build cache so if thats the case that a look at the [Build system leftovers](#build-system-leftovers) section  
{{< /alert>}}

### The old way (Docker < 1.13)

#### Delete Volumes

{{< alert theme="info" >}}
For more info and a complete shell script see:
https://github.com/chadoe/docker-cleanup-volumes
{{< /alert >}}

```Shell
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)
```

or

```Shell
docker volume ls -qf dangling=true | xargs -r docker volume rm
```

#### Delete Networks

```Shell
docker network ls
```

```Shell
docker network ls | grep "bridge"
```

```Shell
docker network rm $(docker network ls | grep "bridge" | awk '/ / { print $1 }')
```

or

```Shell
docker network ls | awk '$3 == "bridge" && $2 != "bridge" { print $1 }'
```

## Build system leftovers

If your system is also used for building images you might have a look at cleaning up garbage created by the builders using:

```Shell
docker buildx prune --all
```

and

```Shell
docker builder prune --all
```

## Conclusion
