Explanation

The command that deletes all volumes which are not associated with a container is docker volume prune. This command removes all unused local volumes, which are those that are not that are not given a specific name when they are created. To remove both unused anonymous and named volumes, the -- all or -a flag can be added to the command. The command will prompt for confirmation before deleting the volumes, unless the --force or -f flag is used to bypass the prompt. The command will also show the total reclaimed space after deleting the volumes.
