How to remove old Docker containers

Question

I want to remove old containers. The docker rm 3e552code34a lets you remove a single one, but I need to remove more than one.

Can someone please help me with this?

There is a new feature in Docker 1.13.x called Docker container prune: docker container prune This will do what you want and should work on all platforms the same way.

There is also a docker system prune: docker system prune, which will clean up containers, images, volumes, and networks all in one command.
