Hi All,

My docker images (mostly for unused) disappeared for unknown reasons, I already moved my docker storage location to my workspace which is 8T, and the workspace is not full. My configuration of docker is as below:

And my workspace:

Hi, does anybody have similar issue?

Docker will not remove images automatically. If you see disappearing images, you must have another service that periodically removes unused images to make more space.
