Find the dependent child images on Docker

When you try to remove the docker image with the following command

Sometimes you might be facing below error:

Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 6795374be8c1 (cannot be forced) - image has dependent child images

Below is the Docker command line used to find the dependent child images

Format:

docker inspect --format='{{.Id}} {{.Parent}}' $(docker images --filter since= -q)

Example:

docker inspect --format='{{.Id}} {{.Parent}}' $(docker images --filter since=6795374be8c1 -q)
