Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference "docker/whalesay" (must force) - container is using its referenced image code example

Example: Docker error Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference

docker container rm <container id>
docker image rm <test-image>

NOTE:
prashad@ubuntu:$ docker rmi test-image:latest 
Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference "test-mage:latest" (must force) - container d5bc2a9f3cdd is using its referenced image e7dae29d77e4

i.e., test-image associated container id is still present, so we can't remove test-image.
First remove container and followed by test-image.

#Delete respective container
prashad@ubuntu:$ docker container rm d5bc2a9f3cdd
d5bc2a9f3cdd
#Delete test-image
prashad@ubuntu:$ docker rmi test-image:latest
Untagged: test-image:latest
