Answer 1

Try this it worked for me on centos 1) docker container ls -a gives you a list of containers check status which you want to get rid of 2) docker container rm -f 97af2da41b2b not a big fan force flag but does the work to check it worked just fire the command again or list it. 3) continue till we clear all dead containers
