I would appreciate any clarification on this topic in more detail

My image file size is set to 27Gb, because I increased it, I am also aware that now I can not make a smaller img file without deleting all my docker applications and starting from scratch (which is so much time I put is setting my dockers up I don't want to do unless I can save my docker setting and reload them.).  On looking at container size I do not use that much space says 8.46 GB if I am understanding this correct.  So not sure why the system section says I have 84% utilization

 

Appreciate anyone's knowledge about this subject.

It's very simple to recreate the docker image:

 

https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#re-create-the-docker-image-file
Then:
https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/docker-management/#re-installing-docker-applications
Also see below if you have any custom docker networks:

Unfortunately that doesn't always show the problem container, not sure why, you can try this to see if it helps:

 

If it doesn't, I would suggest recreating the image with just half of the containers, then see if the image grows, if it doesn't start adding the remaining ones, if it does, start with the other half.

It turned out that I had a lot of orphan images that needed to be removed by clicking the advanced tab.  I wish I knew that before making my docker vdisk larger.
