ViewsDocker says there is already a container with the same name that exists despite there are no containers
I do DOCKERADM_ENV=lab docker-compose -f docker-compose-mgmt.yml up -d since last week to test things and when I want to test something new I remove all the containers with docker rm $(docker ps -aq).
But now I can't make my docker-compose because :
ERROR: for mgmt-mongo Conflict. The name "/mgmt-mongo" is already in use by container 228f13fb40231043d3c532cc1fa40906eb4332722a6a69024fe6b9d0ceab8b40. You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.
But when I do docker ps -a there is nothing.
You have an idea from where it could comes ?

run this:
docker rm 228f13fb40231043d3c532cc1fa40906eb4332722a6a69024fe6b9d0ceab8b40
sounds like you have a an orphaned container or something like that... but Docker was kind enough to give you the id of the container, so you can just remove that container by its id.

The solution proposed by @TatsuyukiIshi works well, but I think is not necessary to restart the machine. For example, in windows you can go to Docker Settings and go to Reset option to Restart Docker:
The same should apply for other OSs

These kind of errors are often caused by Docker upgrades without stopping everything like running containers. A reboot will solve most cases.
