There is a broken image which blocks further pulls. And I cannot remove or delete it
What I did:
- stopped all containers ("docker ps -a" shows empty list)
- cleaned everything with "docker system prune -a")
- "docker image ls -a" shows an empty list
When I pull something based on PHP7.3 I get this error:
$ sudo docker pull wordpress
Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from library/wordpress

I am wondering about "already exists": How to delete them?? (I already tried prune -a ; see above)
I wish I could delete ALL(100%) images -> so I could start with fresh downloads.
(Background: the hardware had a memory bug. Perhaps that is the reason for having this error now. The hardware and disks are OK now.)
try to :
Stop docker service
Remove /var/lib/docker
Start docker service
