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

Sincere appreciation to all of you. I have tried all your approaches, but was not able to delete the following image:

[myself@testvm]$ docker images -a
REPOSITORY    TAG     IMAGE ID      CREATED       SIZE
hello-world   latest  c54a2cc56cbb  6 months ago  1.848 kB

I had to remove it from here instead:

sudo rm /var/lib/docker/image/devicemapper/imagedb/content/sha256/c54a2cc56cbb2f04003c1cd4507e118af7c0d340fe7e2720f70976c4b75237dc 

Now it is gone.
