I'm trying to remove docker from my Ubuntu 16.04. When coming to the step to remove all of the container files:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker/containers

Seems like it is stuck here forever, means that there must be some process that holding this folder, is there any way to resolve this?

Maybe check first if any container running with docker ps -a, then do a docker system prune -a
