I receive the error Error response from daemon: EOF when trying to remove an image with the command docker rmi 07f8e8c5e660. I've tried the force option with the same result.

I'm doing all of this within a docker machine having setup the machine and set my environment with the commands:

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox dev
eval "$(docker-machine env dev)"

Running on a Mac with OS X Yosemite. Docker version:

Client version: 1.6.0
Client API version: 1.18
Go version (client): go1.4.2
Git commit (client): 4749651
OS/Arch (client): darwin/amd64
Server version: 1.6.0
Server API version: 1.18
Go version (server): go1.4.2
Git commit (server): 4749651
OS/Arch (server): linux/amd64

I've tried restarting docker:

boot2docker stop
boot2docker start
<set variables>
eval "$(docker-machine env dev)"

But I still get the error when I try to remove the image.

I can create a new machine and start over but this machine has issues.

I'm still learning Docker, but what worked for me in this situation was to pull the image again with docker pull <image>. At that point you can remove it without issues, if that's what you want. Hope this helps:

$ docker run tomcat:7

$ docker pull tomcat:7
