root@pls10-portals.exp.quad.local ~ $ docker rmi -f 6d23505caf3b
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 6d23505caf3b (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images
root@pls10-portals.exp.quad.local ~ $

Is this because the java image is running and ties to all the others?

Docker chews up all my root disk space. ( I did not install this server BTW)
I cannot delete anything as root and this is sup annoying.

Remove dangling images

docker rmi -f $(docker images -f “dangling=true” -q)

Prune unused images

docker image prune -a

What about the images already running?
I ran that command but it didn’t do anything.
Am I supposed to stop the running images first?
When I try to delete them manually, it says there’s a child process running and won’t let me.
Same with the child process I found under here-
/var/lib/docker/image/overlay/imagedb/content/sha256

Nothing will delete , I feel like the java process has to be stopeed as its probably tied to every running container.

But I don’t know.

stop and remove running containers. Try to remove parent image. All child images will be removed. After that remove dangling images. ‘docker image prune -a’ command will remove all unused images with all tags.
