it's really nice cheatsheet.
I would like to add :
docker system prune -a
to delete all the resources which has been created by user.
Note: Do not apply this command in production like environment. it is just for practice purpose.

Great Cheatsheet !!
I would add:
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
to delete all stopped containers

It's wrong this command since it will remove all containers (running and stopped containers)!
docker ps -a -q will show you all containers into short syntax and docker rm will remove them!
The right syntax should be docker rm $(docker ps --filter status=exited -q) to remove all stopped containers

No you have to use -f (force) to remove also running containers
