Hello, I have a problem installing the docker-osx:latest image on Docker Desktop for Windows: no space left on device... Except that I have several hundred GB of free space on my system disk, and over a TB on my data disk. I've looked everywhere, but can't find a solution to my problem.

Could you help me?

It sounds like you WSL may have some limit?

cd /var/lib/docker
sudo du .

That's where the image will go, so if you can expand that drive somehow.

Alternatively, you can move the /var/lib/docker folder itself to another area, like extenal hard drive ( ). And then symlink the old directory

sudo mv /var/lib/docker /run/media/user/myssd/
sudo ln -s /run/media/user/myssd/docker/ /var/lib/docker
