Description
Description
I’d like to suggest adding an -a, --all option to the docker rm command. With this we could do commands like docker rm --all --force. It would allow us to remove all containers, both running and stopped, with a single command. Currently, we have to stop them first and then remove them, which feels a bit clunky.
Podman has this functionality built in. Adding this option to Docker would streamline the process and improve the user experience.

Research direction
Start at the Docker CLI implementation and tests for the docker rm command, then review the linked command reference and Podman behavior. Done means docker rm --all --force removes running and stopped containers in one command, with coverage for the new option and existing removal behavior.
