docker rmi cannot remove images, with: no such id

Question

I have a lot of images. When I try to remove them with docker rmi

$ sudo docker rmi acd33a9490dc
Error response from daemon: No such id: 75ce1f6710b         


        

Answer 1

Put in your terminal:

docker ps -a

CONTAINER ID | IMAGE ......................NAMES

d25c0cd9725a |acd33a9490dc ................focused_einstein

You can see your IMAGEID in the column IMAGE. Get the CONTAINER ID an remove the container:

docker rm d25c0cd9725a

And now you can remove the image:

docker rmi acd33a9490dc
