Can’t delete docker image with dependent child images
You should try to remove unnecessary images before removing the image:
docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)After that, run:
docker rmi c565603bc87f
In some cases (like in my case) you may be trying to delete an image by specifying the image id that has multiple tags that you don't realize exist, some of which may be used by other images. In which case, you may not want to remove the image.
If you have a case of redundant tags as described here, instead of docker rmi <image_id> use docker rmi <repo:tag> on the redundant tag you wish to remove.
all previous answers are correct but here is one solution which is just deleteing all of your images forcefully (use this command at your own risk it will delete all of your images)
docker rmi $(docker images -q) -f
