What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users reclaim disk space and resolve Docker-related issues by cleaning up unused Docker resources like volumes, containers, and images, and by troubleshooting Docker Desktop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Resource Pruning: Safely removes stopped containers, dangling images, unused networks, and unused volumes.
  • System-Wide Cleanup: Offers aggressive options to remove all unused Docker objects.
  • Docker Desktop Troubleshooting: Provides steps to diagnose and resolve issues with unresponsive Docker Desktop on macOS.
  • Use Case: When Docker is consuming excessive disk space or commands are hanging, this skill can be used to prune resources and restart Docker Desktop if necessary.

Quick Start

Run the docker-cleanup skill to perform a full system cleanup including volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions about docker-cleanup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I free up disk space by cleaning up unused Docker images and volumes?▼

To free up disk space, you can prune unused Docker resources by removing stopped containers, dangling images, unused networks, and volumes. This skill performs both incremental and aggressive system-wide cleanups to reclaim storage.

What is the best way to troubleshoot an unresponsive Docker Desktop on macOS?▼

Troubleshooting an unresponsive Docker Desktop on macOS involves running diagnostic steps to identify the issue and executing resolution actions. This skill provides specific workflows to diagnose hanging commands and restart the Docker Desktop environment safely.

Can I safely remove all unused Docker objects without losing critical data?▼

You can safely remove unused Docker objects, but aggressive system-wide cleanups carry a risk of data loss. This skill includes specific safety notes and incremental workflows to help prevent the loss of critical data during the pruning process.

When should I use an aggressive Docker cleanup instead of an incremental one?▼

An aggressive Docker cleanup should be used when Docker consumes excessive disk space and you need to remove all unused objects. Incremental cleanup is preferred when you want to safely prune resources while minimizing the risk of data loss.

Why do my Docker commands hang and how does pruning resolve this?▼

Docker commands hang when the system is overloaded with unused resources or Docker Desktop becomes unresponsive. Pruning stopped containers, dangling images, and unused volumes clears the resource bottleneck and restores command responsiveness.
