Docker - Cannot remove dead container

Question

I am unable to remove the dead container, it appears again after i restart the Docker service.

docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID         STATUS          
11667ef1623         


        

Answer 1

Most likely, an error occurred when the daemon attempted to cleanup the container, and he is now stuck in this "zombie" state.

I'm afraid your only option here is to manually clean it up:

$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker//11667ef16239.../

Where is the name of your driver (aufs, overlay, btrfs, or devicemapper).
