Docker Memory at 95% - System Memory at 17%

[doubley]

Hello,

 

in the below screenshot you can see the "Docker" bar under the Memory section is at 95%. What is this? This has never been a problem until the last few days. I've tried restarting my entire server as well as disabling all my containers and it doesn't go down.

If you wanted to start fresh you could stop docker service and delete docker image. Start docker service which will then create a new fresh docker image. Goto Apps - Previous Apps and install your apps fresh which will retain all your settings and info from your Appdata. Then you have a fresh clean docker image.

Thank you! That fixed it. What causes it to grow so large? I don't have that many containers.

Misconfigured dockers. One or more of them are writing inside the image. 

 

Go back through and make sure the docker only writes to locations you have mapped in the config. Check for typos or wrong case.

Docker Tab.  Click Container Size. You should be able to see easily which one is at fault.

None of my containers seem to be at fault - at least not to my eye? My docker image is at 20GB currently.

I would just create a fresh docker image and go from there then.
