Tiempo de lectura: < 1 minuto
Today we will learn how to free up disk space from unused images with Docker.

Before cleaning the images, you can use the following command to see how much space can be freed:

Plain text
Copy to clipboard
Open code in new window

docker system df
docker system df
docker system df

This command will display a summary of the space used by different Docker resource categories, such as images, containers, volumes, and networks.

To free up unused space, we will run the following command:

Copy to clipboard
Open code in new window

docker system prune
docker system prune
docker system prune

This command will delete unused images, stopped containers, unused networks, and unused volumes. You will be asked to confirm the deletion before proceeding.

After running the command, you will receive a confirmation showing the amount of reclaimed space. You must confirm the action by typing y or yes and pressing Enter.
