Docker Compose - 删除悬空服务

Question

While getting to know docker and docker compose, I removed a volume that was still in use by docker compose.

Now, docker compose prints the following error message for everything I try to do (stop, start, ps, rm, ...):

ERROR: Named volume "db_data:/var/lib/mysql:rw" is used in service "db" but no declaration was found in the volumes section.

Therefore, I am now unable to work with docker compose in any way. As I am out of ideas, I am reaching out for some support.
