ubuntu remove docker code example

Example 1: remove docker ubuntu

To completely uninstall Docker:

Step 1

dpkg -l | grep -i docker
To identify what installed package you have:

Step 2

sudo apt-get purge -y docker-engine docker docker.io docker-ce docker-ce-cli
sudo apt-get autoremove -y --purge docker-engine docker docker.io docker-ce  
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:

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.

Example 2: Package 'docker-ce' is not installed, so not removed

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

Example 3: Package 'docker-ce' is not installed, so not removed

dpkg -l | grep -i docker
