Change the permission using the command such as “chmod u+x rmImages.sh”. Execute the script using the command such as ./rmImages.sh. And, that is it. it would help you delete all the images starting with a specific prefix.
function removeUnwantedImages() {
DOCKER_IMAGE_IDS=$(sudo docker images | grep "$imagePrefix" | awk '{print $3}')
if [ -z "$DOCKER_IMAGE_IDS" -o "$DOCKER_IMAGE_IDS" == " " ]; then
echo "---- No images available for deletion ----"
else
sudo docker rmi -f $DOCKER_IMAGE_IDS
fi
}
read -p "Delete images whose prefix is: " imagePrefix
removeUnwantedImages
