How to remove docker images based on name?
I want to delete all versions of docker images with names that contain a given string (imagename).
I have tried the below, but it doesn't seem to work:
docker images | grep 'imagename' | xargs -I {} docker rmi
docker

Try the following :
docker rmi $(docker images |grep 'imagename')
Windows Powershell :
docker rmi $(docker images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}"|findstr "imagename")

Slightly more exact version - grepping only on the repository name:
docker rmi $(docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}' | grep 'imagename')

docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}filters the output so only repo & tag are shown (iefoo:latest).grep 'imagenamefilters those lines to only those images that containimagename. Putting that in$()evaluates that & passes to the outerdocker rmiwhich removes those images that were matched.

Expanding on the above, you can delete all tagged images corresponding to an exact image name as follows:docker rmi -f $(docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}' --filter=reference='imagename:*')'

Simply you can add --force at the end of the command. Like:
sudo docker rmi <docker_image_id> --force
To make it more intelligent you can stop any running container before remove the image:
sudo docker stop $(docker ps | grep <your_container_name> | awk '{print $1}')
sudo docker rm $(docker ps | grep <your_container_name> | awk '{print $1}')
sudo docker rmi $(docker images | grep <your_image_name> | awk '{print $3}') --force
In docker ps, $1 is the 1st column i.e. docker container id
and $3 is the 3rd column i.e. docker image id

docker images actually uses the first positional argument as an image name to filter for. No grep's and awk's required. The -q option will return only the matching images IDs which can be fed to docker rmi.
docker rmi --force $(docker images -q imagename | uniq)

I also got another concise answer. The only change was to remove the unnecessary -I {} flag.
docker images | grep 'imagename' | xargs docker rmi

docker rmi `docker images | awk '$1 ~ /imageName/ {print $3}'`
This will remove all the images by name "imageName".
In some cases this may give an error like "image is referenced in one or more repositories". In that case use force delete.
docker rmi -f `docker images | awk '$1 ~ /imageName/ {print $3}'`
Another way can be:
docker images | awk '{ OFS = ":" }$1 ~ /imageName/ {print $1,$2}'

For some reason I wasn't able to use any of the given answers here. Here's what worked for me.
docker images | grep "gcr.io/kubernetes-learn-197422/last-week-weather-service" | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi
awk '{print $3}' is an important part. It extracts id from the 3rd column.

I find my answer more simple.
Example, your image name is python_image.
Then your code should be:
docker rmi $(docker images --filter=reference='python_image' --format "{{.ID}}")
I hope this helps.

Minor remark:
From what we are experiencing, it seems you're - since docker 18.03 - no longer able to remove untagged images based on just the name. You either need to use the name+tag as stated above or use the ID.
docker images --format={{.ID}} | xargs -I % sh -c 'docker rmi --force % 2>&1'

Expanding on the above, you can delete all tagged images corresponding to an exact image name as follows:docker rmi -f $(docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}' --filter=reference='imagename:*')'

Can you explain what this does? Bits of random code could be dangerous.

docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}} filters the output so only repo & tag are shown (ie foo:latest). grep 'imagename filters those lines to only those images that contain imagename. Putting that in $() evaluates that & passes to the outer docker rmi which removes those images that were matched.– Adam Parkin

Simply you can add --force at the end of the command. Like:
sudo docker rmi <docker_image_id> --force
To make it more intelligent you can stop any running container before remove the image:
sudo docker stop $(docker ps | grep <your_container_name> | awk '{print $1}')
sudo docker rm $(docker ps | grep <your_container_name> | awk '{print $1}')
sudo docker rmi $(docker images | grep <your_image_name> | awk '{print $3}') --force
In docker ps, $1 is the 1st column i.e. docker container id
and $3 is the 3rd column i.e. docker image id

docker images actually uses the first positional argument as an image name to filter for. No grep's and awk's required. The -q option will return only the matching images IDs which can be fed to docker rmi.
docker rmi --force $(docker images -q imagename | uniq)

I also got another concise answer. The only change was to remove the unnecessary -I {} flag.

docker rmi `docker images | awk '$1 ~ /imageName/ {print $3}'`
This will remove all the images by name "imageName".
In some cases this may give an error like "image is referenced in one or more repositories". In that case use force delete.
docker rmi -f `docker images | awk '$1 ~ /imageName/ {print $3}'`
Another way can be:
docker images | awk '{ OFS = ":" }$1 ~ /imageName/ {print $1,$2}'

For some reason I wasn't able to use any of the given answers here. Here's what worked for me.
docker images | grep "gcr.io/kubernetes-learn-197422/last-week-weather-service" | awk '{print $3}' | xargs docker rmi
awk '{print $3}' is an important part. It extracts id from the 3rd column.

I find my answer more simple.
Example, your image name is python_image.
Then your code should be:
docker rmi $(docker images --filter=reference='python_image' --format "{{.ID}}")
I hope this helps.

Minor remark:
From what we are experiencing, it seems you're - since docker 18.03 - no longer able to remove untagged images based on just the name. You either need to use the name+tag as stated above or use the ID.
docker images --format={{.ID}} | xargs -I % sh -c 'docker rmi --force % 2>&1'
