Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Following the Post-boot instructions: https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX#additional-boot-instructions-for-when-you-are-creating-your-container. Erase button is disabled for me, and I don't know how to reduce the disk size. I tried Partitioning/Adding Volume but both failed showing me error message.

We are using qemu images so the disk dynamically changes size. You cannot change the size of the booted partition.
Boot into the Recovery mode.
Can you show screenshot of which stage you are at?
@manjotsidhu commented on GitHub (Apr 14, 2021):
I have downloaded the prebuilt container and using the Container Creation Examples. I have successfully booted that container but since README also points to post-boot instructions. I am currently stuck there. I can see 3 partitions in my Disk Utility, 2 are 214GB in which I am not getting uninstall option.
Do I even have to follow that instruction or it would be fine without it ?

I would start a new container if you wanted to reinstall because the old one will grow very big.
If you want to remove the old one, you can use
docker rm
