Docker info shows containers but docker container ls doesn't

When I run docker info, it shows that I have 18 containers running. 

% docker info
Client:
 Debug Mode: false

Server:
 Containers: 18
  Running: 18
  Paused: 0
  Stopped: 0
 Images: 9
...

I want to delete these containers, but when I run docker container ls -a, it shows an empty list. How can I find them?

These containers are not allowing me to delete images. 

% docker rmi -f 1e94481e8f30
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to delete 1e94481e8f30 (cannot be forced) - image is being used by running container 7e9b08a0007b

You are probably running kubernetes.

After stopping kubernetes, to remove all stopped containers and all images without at least one container associated to them:

docker system prune --all

Those 18 containers belong to Kubernetes. You can check this by going to the Preferences > Kubernetes > Check Show system containers (advanced).

After that, just run docker container ls -a again and you will see those 18 containers.

These are the containers you are not seeing unless you check that option:

To stop all running containers

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)

To remove all containers

docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

You should be able to delete all images after that
