There is no space left on the device when installing tar using docker

Question

I installed the tar file on docker on my Windows7-64bit system using the docker quickstart terminal.

 docker load -i some_docker_image.tar 

The team did a bit of processing and launched the output:

  Error response from daemon: Untar re-exec error: exit status 1: output: write /usr/include/c++/4.4.4/gnu/java/net/protocol/http/Handler.h: no space left on device 

How to clean a partially installed tar package to clean up an unnecessarily busy hard disk space?

Answer 1

Start by cleaning your dangling images :

 docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc) 

First make sure all your containers are stopped and deleted: check the status with docker ps -a .
