Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference xxx

Error：

想删除centos镜像，因为docker images 里面有两个centos，所以删除其中一个。

[root@jdcloud3 ~]# docker rmi centos:latest
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository 
reference "centos:latest" (must force) 
- container b78aedf3926a is using its referenced image 0f3e07c0138f

Solution：

出现这个问题是因为多个容器占用同一个镜像的问题，请重复删除即可。

centos 这个镜像删不了 是它在多个容器里在跑  一 一 remove掉

然后回来再去删除容器依赖的原镜像

[root@jdcloud3 ~]# docker rm b78aedf3926a
b78aedf3926a
[root@jdcloud3 ~]# docker rmi centos:latest

PS:

镜像和容器就像是面向对象程序设计中的类和实例一样，镜像是静态的定义，容器是镜像运行时的实体。

你想删除某个镜像但是有多个容器依赖于这个镜像在running。
