# Linux Docker

## How to completely remove docker from linux?

To completely uninstall Docker:

*Step 1*

```bash
dpkg -l | grep -i docker
```

To identify what installed package you have:

*Step 2*

```bash
sudo apt-get purge -y docker-engine docker docker.io docker-ce docker-ce-cli docker-compose-plugin
sudo apt-get autoremove -y --purge docker-engine docker docker.io docker-ce docker-compose-plugin
```

The above commands will not remove images, containers, volumes, or user created configuration files on your host. If you wish to delete all images, containers, and volumes run the following commands:

```bash
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker /etc/docker
sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/docker
sudo groupdel docker
sudo rm -rf /var/run/docker.sock
```

You have removed Docker from the system completely.
