I see a lot of info on deleting Docker images and containers that are 'dangling/unused', but how can I delete images that aren't running as a container that I've downloaded using docker-compose -f my-compose-file.yaml?
When I exec 'docker system prune', and then run docker-compose again, I'm getting messages that the images already exist. I'm trying to remove all existing images from my system that were previously downloaded with 'docker-compose'.
Check this Post. It'll give you a good idea on how to deal with images.
Or in short and general:
docker rmi $(docker images -aq)
You can clean up docker artifacts by using the following command (depending on what you need to clean up):
docker container prune
docker image prune
docker network prune
docker volume prune
These commands support '-a' option that will delete all of the artifacts if specified (for example docker container prune -a will remove all the containers)
In case you need to clean up everything you may want to use:
docker system prune -a
The description of docker system prune in the docs is very brief
Remove unused data
Can you try running docker system prune --all which according to the docs removes all unused images, the options for --all flag
--all , -a Remove all unused images not just dangling ones
You could also try using docker image prune --all which is used to delete only unused images, for more see this.
I am new to Docker and still learning it.. Why not try docker image prune -a for removing unused images which are not being referenced by any container, for details see this . Although I think that your docker system prune should have worked.

I wanted to install CVAT for training an Object Detection AI using Docker. The install failed for some reason in the middle and it wasn't installed. But all the files were still occupying space on my machine. I tried reinstalling the CVAT and the files keep adding to the occupied space. How do I remove all of these files? I am using a MacBook Pro with MacOS Big Sur Beta 4.
Edit: https://github.com/opencv/cvat/blob/develop/cvat/apps/documentation/installation.md#mac-os-mojave
These are the commands I am running to install CVAT.

If you are trying to remove the containers, attempt the following:
1. docker ps -a - lists all containers
2. docker stop [label or SHA of the containers you want to remove]
docker-compose down [YAML configuration file you targeted with docker-compose up] - this should stop all containers, teardown networks, etc. that docker-compose started with 'up'
docker container prune - removes all stopped containers
NOTE: If you have other stopped containers that you want to keep, do not run this, but remove them individually, as I suggested in the stricken-through step two above, or Konrad Botor's comment
https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/down/
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/container_prune/
If you want to remove the images:
docker images
docker rmi [label or SHA] (RMI is the remove image command)
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/images/
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/rmi/
To speed up this process, analyze the YAML configuration file being targeted for your docker-compose build command, and/or reference the documentation for that specific project (CVAT) if available, to determine what containers (software) it is initializing (and how it is doing so, if necessary). It might help to paste its contents in the question.
Note: what is taking up space may be volumes which are not cleaned up properly by the docker build scripts for this project. See the following documentation on how to remove those:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/volume_rm/
I might be missing some context, as I cannot access your pastebin links (behind a firewall at the moment).
maybe this is a duplicate but I couldn't find any reference for this.
I don't understand what are this images that I see in the output of docker images ls. In the repository column I see some images with a hash in their names.
Thanks!
If you're iterating on a custom image, when you docker build -t imagename ., the imagename:latest tag moves to the newly built image, and the previous image is left behind with just a hash and no other name. You can assign a name to the old image with docker tag, or delete it with docker rmi.
If you are on Docker 1.13 or newer (including any date-format version like 2017.12) then you can ask Docker to clean up the untagged images with
docker image prune
On all Docker versions you can delete the untagged images with the longer
docker images -q -f dangling=true | xargs docker rmi
I found out where the images come from, they are built by Jenkins.
I do have an already build docker image and wan't to add files to it AFTER the build was done. Is there a way to add files without rebuilding it (or maybe to add it and save it with an new tag)? I did find docker cp but if I understand that right it does only work in running containers.

Still, that might work considering you can then commit a container into a new image.
See docker commit.
docker commit [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
I'm new to Docker, so please allow me to describe the steps that I did. I'm using Docker (not Docker toolbox) on OS X. I built the image from Dockerfile using the following command
sudo docker build -t myImage .
Docker confirmed that building was successful.
Successfully built 7240e.....
However, I can't find the image anywhere. I looked at this question, but the answer is for Docker toolbox, and I don't have a folder /Users/<username>/.docker as suggested by the accepted answer.
You would be able to see your docker images by the below command:
docker images
And to check which all containers are running in docker:
docker ps -a
Local builds (in my case using buildkit) will create and cache the image layers but simply leave them in the cache rather than tell the docker daemon they're an actual image. To do that you need to use the --load flag.
$ docker buildx build -t myImage .
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
Doesn't show anything, but...
$ docker buildx build -t myImage --load .
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
myImage latest 538021e3d342 18 minutes ago 190MB
And there it is!
There actually is a warning about this in the output of the build command... but it's above all the build step logs so vanishes off your terminal without easily being seen.
To get list of Images
docker image ls
or
docker images
In addition to the correct responses above that discuss how to access your container or container image, if you want to know how the image is written to disk...
Docker uses a Copy on Write File System (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy-on-write) and stores each Docker image as a series of read only layers and stores them in a list. The link below does a good job explaining how the image layers are actually stored on disk.
https://docs.docker.com/storage/storagedriver/
As already said, after the docker images
this command will show you all the images you have locally.
i.e "somth like that"
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
codestandars 1.0 a22daacf6761 8 minutes ago 622MB
bulletinboard 1.0 b73e8e68edc0 2 hours ago 681MB
ubuntu 18.04 cf0f3ca922e0 4 days ago 64.2MB
now you should
docker run -it and the IMAGE ID or the TAG related to the repository you want to run.
Command to list the docker images is :
docker images
The default docker images will show all top level images, their repository and tags, and their size.
An image will be listed more than once if it has multiple repository names or tags.

I am using docker toolbox in OS X. When I run docker-compose pull and the network cuts out, the download does not resume after I fix the issue. Is there a way to purge or invalidate partial downloads for docker images?
As noted in the comments, incomplete images would not be present anyway.
Since PR 18353 and docs-v1.11.2-2016-06-10, the next pull would reload missing/incommplete layers and build the complete image.
For purging images (dangling or not used): docker image prune -a
For purging containers: docker container prune
