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

sudo docker ps -a | grep Exit | awk '{print $1}' | sudo xargs docker rm 

Then remove your image using

sudo docker rmi
