Clean up any resources — images, containers, volumes, and networks — that are dangling (not associated with a container):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ docker system prune
</syntaxhighlight>

To additionally remove any stopped containers and all unused images (not just dangling images), add the -a flag to the command: <ref>[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-remove-docker-images-containers-and-volumes How To Remove Docker Images, Containers, and Volumes]- DigitalOcean</ref>

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ docker system prune -a
</syntaxhighlight>

== Viewing files in a container ==

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ docker exec -t -i mycontainer /bin/bash
</syntaxhighlight>

Exit the connection and return to the regular local filesystem command prompt with `exit`.

== Copying files from Docker container to host ==
