My /var/lib/docker showing:

492K    containers
8.8G    devicemapper
20M     image
40K     network
4.0K    tmp
4.0K    trust
28K     volumes
8.8G    total

Only 2 containers are running on the host however the disk size is increasing day by day. Same docker version is being used on the other host/vm where no issue reported. Please help me.

Followed docker devicemapper data file size increasing exponentially #22659 but nothing found helpful.

You can try to clean up unused containers, dangling images, unused volumes ... using:

docker system prune --volumes -f

    Currently, there is no dangling images are found but storage is getting full day by day. /var/lib/docker/metadata/devicemapper showing 10 GB of data however only 2 light weight container is running.My host server is Gentoo – Chandan Kashyap Feb 05 '18 at 06:06

    the `docker system prune`is available docker version>1.25 [see here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/system_prune/) I also still face this issue – maffe Dec 14 '18 at 09:26

    I tried the command you provided, but with no luck. The command did release some disk space. However, the devicemapper is still very large – willisc Oct 26 '20 at 03:58
