A

If you have created many containers on the Docker Engine and you want to remove them all, you can use the "docker container rm ..." command with a sub-command to specify the list of all container IDs.

1. Run "docker container list --all --quiet" to get a list of all container IDs.

fyicenter$ docker container list --all --quiet

2. Embed the above command into the "docker container rm" command to remove them all.

fyicenter$ docker container rm $(docker container list --all --quiet)
