Question 26860 in CentOS Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

docker rmi <hash> gives Error: No such image: – CentOS

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.

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

    Edit – 1 :
    I found the problem , sometimes the stopped containers store the images being used to create them.

    First remove all the containers with : docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)
    Then remove all the docker images with : docker rmi -f $(docker image ls)

    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).
