Hello! Could somebody suggest if I can delete "default" images from Rancher Desktop? Does it break something in Rancher desktop or docker?

You probably wouldn't be able to because they are being used by running containers.

I don't think you can force delete an image with

-f

if a container is running with that image. I just tried to delete

rancher/mirrored-pause

on my machine and was unable to.

but if I stop all the containers , then I can delete containers via 'docker stop $(docker ps -aq)' and then docker rmi $(docker images -aq) -f

If an image doesn't exist and the system needs it, it will pull it.

I should say that if you try to stop all the containers, there may be other issues.
