Manually remove Docker containers on Ubuntu
Occasionally Docker prevents me from removing containers with docker rm ID To get around this problem I run the following:
service docker stop
rm -rf /var/lib/docker/containers/*
rm -rf /var/lib/docker/vfs/dir/*
service docker startNote: I'm using devicemapper for the storage driver.

You can use docker rm -f [container] to force docker to remove containers.
