场景：

在运行docker示例时，在运行删除镜像的命令，如下：

docker rmi hello-world

发生如下报错：

Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference "hello-world" (must force) - container 6bf7c8fb514f is using its referenced image bf756fb1ae65

出现这个问题的原因是删除的这个images可能被依赖与其他的container,

于是乎，查询容器：

docker ps -a

查询结果如下：

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                      PORTS               NAMES

这下就看到原因了，原来container使用到了这个images,这样问题就简单了

docker rm 6bf7c8fb514f

注意：rm 命令后面的是containerID 根据各自情况变化

然后，再删除images

docker image rm hello-world

运行结果如下：

Untagged: hello-world:latest
Untagged: hello-world@sha256:8e3114318a995a1ee497790535e7b88365222a21771ae7e53687ad76563e8e76

成功！！！

附：

删除所有的container

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

删除所有的images

docker rmi $(docker images -q)
