How to remove docker images based on name?

Question

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

Answer 1

Try the following:

docker rmi $(docker images | grep 'imagename')

or

docker rmi $(docker images 'imagename')

or even:

docker rmi $(docker images 'completeimagename' -a -q)

In Windows PowerShell:

docker rmi $(docker images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}"|findstr "imagename")
