docker rmi cannot remove images, with: no such id

Question

I have a lot of images. When I try to remove them with `docker rmi` ``` $ sudo docker rmi acd33a9490dc Error response from daemon: No such id: 75ce1f6710bab109a7d7cbee056fa8a0c7fa913e81c88e2a55121149dda80ee9 2014/07/14 10:13:24 Error: failed to remove one or more images ``` That 75ce1... hash is the same no matter which docker image I try to remove. At present, the below gives the current docker version; however some of these images have been around since an earlier version (0.6 or so) ``` $ sudo docker version Client version: 1.0.1 Client API version: 1.12 Go version (client): go1.2.1 Git commit (client): 990021a Server version: 1.0.1 Server API version: 1.12 Go version (server): go1.2.1 Git commit (server): 990021a ```

Accepted Answer

Put in your terminal:

```
docker ps -a

CONTAINER ID | IMAGE ......................NAMES

d25c0cd9725a |acd33a9490dc ................focused_einstein
```

You can see your IMAGEID in the column IMAGE. Get the CONTAINER ID an remove the container:

```
docker rm d25c0cd9725a
```

And now you can remove the image:

```
docker rmi acd33a9490dc
```
