Update Docker - Windows Instructions

There is an error on the site documentation about how to update docker images on Windows.

This command does nothing:
docker images -a --format "{{.ID}}" --filter "reference=*librechat*" | ForEach-Object { docker rmi $_ }

The right one should be:
docker images -a --filter=reference='ghcr.io/danny-avila/librechat*' --format "{{.ID}}" | ForEach-Object { docker rmi $_ }

Notes: the wildcard "*" is working only as a prefix.

But for the record, the one in the docs does do something for me in Powershell:

PS C:\Users\danny>  docker images -a --format "{{.ID}}" --filter "reference=*librechat*" | ForEach-Object { docker rmi $_ }

This is what I get

[danny-avila]

what happens when you run docker images -a --format "{{.ID}}" --filter "reference=*librechat*" | ForEach-Object { docker rmi $_ } as one-line command?

[nanny07]

It does nothing because the pipe operator “|” does not receive any input (and that's why I just show you the first part)
