    16  
    17        -f, --force          Force removal of the image
    18        --help               Print usage

    20  
    21  You can remove an image using its short or long ID, its tag, or its digest. If
    22  an image has one or more tag referencing it, you must remove all of them before
    23  the image is removed. Digest references are removed automatically when an image
    24  is removed by tag.

    48  If you use the `-f` flag and specify the image's short or long ID, then this
    49  command untags and removes all images that match the specified ID.
