In addition to the other answers, I had the same issue using Docker for Mac but docker ps -a did not show any running containers. Running docker images shows:

All of these images are used by the Docker app if you have Kubernetes enabled. In the Docker for Mac preferences, there is a section for Kubernetes. If you click "Show system containers (advanced)", they will appear in docker ps.

If you wish to delete these images, you need to disable Kubernetes via the Docker for Mac app, then try again.
