Overview
I often forget that volumes are not deleted even after removing containers and images in Docker, so I'm writing this note.
I usually use docker-compose.
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
Then, I clean up with:
docker rm **
docker rmi **
However, it seems there is an option to delete mounted volumes.
Solution
Check if volumes remain.
docker volume ls
docker volume rm **
Additional Notes
There is a way to clean up all containers, network images, and volumes described in docker-compose.yml at once using docker-compose.
docker-compose down --rmi all -v
