How to prevent docker load image from cache?

Question

I loaded image with the following command:

$ docker load -i image.tar

I had something like this in image list:

$ docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE sandbox-hdp latest c3cef4760133 8 weeks ago 12.2GB

Then I decided to remove it:

$ docker rmi c3c

But when I loaded image again and run $ docker images I got the same output. It is not newly created image.

I tried $ docker system prune to clear a cache, but it didn't help. How can I load an image as a new one?

Answer 1

If you are loading the image from the same archive ( docker load -i image.tar , or more recently docker image load -i ), you should get the same image (meaning with the same image ID)

Clearing the cache would not change that.
