I have couple projects require to use docker to build local development environment. My local hard disk space started to getting red after 2–3 rounds of rebuilding local docker environment for different branches of the code change. I did run rm command to remove containers, images and volumes. Since Docker Desktop for Windows uses WSL to manage all the images and container files and keeps them in a private virtual hard drive (VHDX) called ext4.vhdx. This vhdx will not automatically shrink when you remove docker, images or volumes. You need to follow the below step to shrink it.</p>
