docker-compose down

docker-compose down stops and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images created by docker-compose up

• https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/down/

By default, the only things removed are:

Containers for services defined in the Compose file
Networks defined in the networks section of the Compose file
The default network, if one is used
Networks and volumes defined as external are never removed.

Examples

docker-compose down --volumes --rmi all
