How to get rid of a huge local Docker image?

Caveat: I'm new to Docker user

I pulled a docker image to my machine:

sudo docker pull docker.local:5000/rhel7/24_GB_docker_image

This image is 24GB in size, and I'd like to delete it from my machine, without deleting it from docker.local machine.

Are there documents/URLs that would point me in the correct direction to achieve the above?

To clean up not used images, containers, etc. you can use the docker system prune command.Itwill ask you what you want to delete.

Use docker rmi. It deletes a local image (see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/rmi)

# find the image ID
docker images --filter reference=docker.local:5000/rhel7/24_GB_docker_image

# delete image
docker rmi <image ID>
