[BUG] Unexpected output on already turned off service when running compose down

Author: furaiCreated Sep 15, 2026Updated Sep 16, 2026

Description

Currently when running composer down multiple times I'm getting messages that something was cleaned which didn't happen in the past and is confusing.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Run docker compose up --build --pull always
  2. Run docker compose down --rmi local --remove-orphans
  3. Run above command again.
  4. Watch CLI for messages like:
    $ docker compose down --rmi local --remove-orphans
[+] down 1/1
 ✔ Dangling images Removed
  5. Each time you repeat the above command you get same output about removed dangling images, even though there's nothing to remove anymore.
