Here's how to force remove a Docker image that is in use when Docker refuses to delete it because a container is still using it. I'll show you why Docker reports an image as in use, how to use docker image rm -f correctly, what happens to orphaned containers, and why you sometimes need to remove the container before the image can be deleted. You'll also see how to verify the image is completely gone from your local image store.
