Docker volume error Error response from daemon unable to remove volume remove DataVolume volume is in use

0 votes

I am trying to remove a volume from my system. I end up with the following error

Error response from daemon: unable to remove volume: remove DataVolume: volume is in use - [d0d2233b668eddad4986313c7a4a1bc0d2edaf0c7e1c02a6a6256de27db17a63]

I think this volume is being used by one of my containers. But I am not sure which.

Hi @Hannah,

The error mentions which container is using the volume you are trying to delete

Error response from daemon: unable to remove volume: remove DataVolume: volume is in use - [d0d2233b668eddad4986313c7a4a1bc0d2edaf0c7e1c02a6a6256de27db17a63]

The bolded section in the above line is your container's id which is using the volume.

What you can do is, remove the container and then delete the volume.
