You’d most likely would have to find out where Docker saves images/containers on your OS and clean it up manually

@User I have deleted everything I can find from the /var/lib/docker folder and the images from when I run "docker image ls" Is there any other place i should look for the image/containers? Also is there a way to specify the docker image location to change it from /var/lib/docker? Thanks!

which os are you on Connie?

I am on Linux

which version?

ubuntu 20.04.3 I believe

try /var/lib/docker/overlay2

Thanks so much! I will try the prune commands, since I have deleted the entire /var/lib/docker folder but was still not recovering all of the memory

the daemon is the dockerd exectuble which you can see as the "server" side of the Docker system. the "docker" command is a client that sends commands to "dockerd" which it executes. This "dockerd" with "d" on the end for "daemon" is thus a specific part of Docker which handles the actual work of setting up and managing containers.

Thanks! I've been using the disk analyzer that comes with linux but it hasn't been really accurate (it will say I have 3 Gb left in my root but when i run df -h it shows only about 1.6 GB left in my root folder). I will try to install Baobab

It will be 10s of MBs at most

That's great! thanks so much for your help. I will give it a try
