image is being used by stopped container

Question

I am trying to delete a docker container by this command:

docker rmi 

Obviously, I have replaced the Image-Id by the Id I get u

Answer 1

You can also use --force , -f Force removal of the image

If you use the -f flag and specify the image’s short or long ID, then this command untags and removes all images that match the specified ID.

  docker rmi -f  

Note: this command removes images being used by containers.
