docker rmi <hash> gives Error: No such image:-CodePudding

I believe I have tried every command recommended to remove the last few images from my sever, but I can't get rid of them.

I'm considering uninstalling docker and then remove /var/lib/docker and finally reinstalling docker. Would that work?

Here's what I've been trying.

CodePudding user response：

Try:- docker rmi -f $(docker image ls)
If it still says Error: No such image , then most probably your images are removed and you can verify again with: docker image ls

CodePudding user response：

What will make it work will depend on what is actually causing the problem. But here are some possible solutions:

Solution 1: Restart the docker daemon:

# in case you are using Linux
sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo systemctl start docker

and then try to remove the images once again after that.

Solution 2: Try to remove the images as pointed out in this article

Solution 3: If nothing of that works, take a look at some answers replied on this other question. The accepted answer there has some side effects (read the comments related to it before doing that).
