Docker using almost 8gb without any container running

I am using ubuntu 22(Linux blah-laptop 5.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 12 10:30:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), and docker started to use too much memory (almost 8Gb) even without any container running.

When I kill docker desktop I can free the memory, so I guess I am missing some configuration/optimization?! Here some details:

There is an option on Docker Desktop settings, to limit the use of resources. I didn't see that (silly me). Fixed now. enter image description here
