How can I remove all containers running docker

Question

I want running containers to be stopped and removed.

PS C:\Users\Bayram Eren> docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE          COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS     NAMES
8d8299ddb6bf   nginx          "/docker-entrypoint.…"   8 minutes ago    Up 8 minutes    80/tcp    con1
554971502a96   nginx:latest   "/docker-entrypoint.…"   17 minutes ago   Up 17 minutes   80/tcp    goofy_goldberg
PS C:\Users\Bayram Eren>

Docker container prune -f

Total reclaimed space: 0B returns result

Why is this happening

`docker kill $(docker ps -q) && docker rm $(docker ps -aq)` will kill all running containers and then remove any containers left in the system — Hans Kilian, May 04 '22 at 12:39

You have to stop your containers before removing them:

docker stop 8d8299ddb6bf   
docker stop 554971502a96

Or you can stop all running containers in one command

docker stop $(docker ps -q -f status=running)

Then you can call

docker container prune -f

I don't want to do it alone – Bayram Eren May 04 '22 at 11:42
I have edited my answer if you want to stop all your running containers with juste one line. – thibaultbl May 04 '22 at 11:44
As far as I understand, the prune does not both stop and lift – Bayram Eren May 04 '22 at 11:51
