In this post you will learn how to fix the Docker error – Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete (must be forced) – image is being used by stopped container.
This error occurs when you try to delete a docker image.
docker rmi 2938e0bbe9a7 Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete (must be forced) - image 2938e0bbe9a7 being used by stopped container d2b3c3c6e6c1
This is because this image is being used by a container. Hence it is not allowing you to remove the image. To fix this, first remove the container that uses your docker image. Then, remove the image.
//remove container first
docker rm d2b3c3c6e6c1
//then remove the image
docker rmi 2938e0bbe9a7
