    In my case:

    • I had installed docker desktop by apt in ubuntu20.04 before, but removed it later .
    • And when I try to check sudo docker images today there is the same issue.
    • Restarting docker, chown socket and some other strange ways don’t work.
    • Suddenly I discover that there is no such socket file in docker/desktop/, but in the default location /var/run. Then trying to restore docker default context by docker context use default makes everything come back to normal.

    So I think that the remained docker-desktop context takes the responsibility…..

    I deleted /home/user/.docker/* and it solved my problem. Probably I had reinstalled all but not I did not delete the old configuration.
