error creating overlay mount to /var/lib/docker/overlay2/93eywfuy5gffv03b5zcpgetvq/merged: no such file or directory

Tried to clean up images, containers via following docker commands nothing help:

docker system prune -af
docker builder prune
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rmi $(docker images -a -q)

# Tried to pull images without caches also failed
docker build --pull --no-cache -t "my-app" .

the fix is to edit /etc/docker/daemon.json file and add below content to it:

{ "storage-driver": "devicemapper" }
 

Reload the systemctl daemon:

systemctl daemon-reload

And restart docker service:

systemctl restart docker
