How to uninstall Docker Machine under Windows 10

Question

I didn't found any solution to remove Docker Machine from my Windows 10 Edu, but documentation for Docker Machine on Windows is very rare.

I'm a newbie on Powershell so maybe there is a simple command that I didn't found...

Answer 1

go to C:\Program Files\Docker, by opening cmd as administrator.

run takeown /R /F *

run ICACLS * /T /Q /C /RESET,

** don't run in Program files folder, otherwise you will go to bootloop after restart, go to Docker folder first.

Create the small file with following content and saved with extension .ps1 in Program files folder, and right click on it and Run with Powershell.

kill -force -processname 'Docker for Windows', com.docker.db, vpnkit, com.docker.proxy, com.docker.9pdb, moby-diag-dl, dockerd

try {
    ./MobyLinux.ps1 -Destroy
} Catch {}

$service = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='com.docker.service'"
if ($service) { $service.StopService() }
if ($service) { $service.Delete() }
Start-Sleep -s 5
