In order to remove docker image, you need to stop all containers which related to that image first, don't you?
Yes if you try to remove an image and a running container exists, rmi command will not be a success.
BUT you can force a remove image command :-) :
$ docker rmi ubuntu:latest Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference "ubuntu:latest" (must force) - container 988cb10f88b8 is using its referenced image f643c72bc252
$ docker rmi ubuntu:latest --force Untagged: ubuntu:latest Untagged: ubuntu@sha256:c95a8e48bf88e9849f3e0f723d9f49fa12c5a00cfc6e60d2bc99d87555295e4c
