Docker is not releasing port even after killing/deleting earlier docker containers and also restarting the service, as per a solution in docker forum also removed “local-kv.db” file present in /var/lib/docker/network/files and restarting the service still the issue persists, i:e docker keeps the hold of the port somewhere.
Please help with a proper solution.
