This question already has an answer here:
Where are Docker images stored on the host machine?
19 answers
I installed Docker Toolbox on Windows 10.
I use the VM where my storage is:
C:Users ***username*** .dockermachinemachinesdefaultdisk.vmdk
However, as I add and remove 100mb worth of images, the size of this file on my hard-drive is barely changing. boot2docker.iso is also same space.
So I was wondering, where are the Images and Containers really stored?
linux docker dockerfile boot2docker

Containers only work on "Linux". So, Docker Toolbox actually creates a VM to run your containers.
So these images/containers/volumes are inside your VM or rather in that disk file.
I believe the disk created is of fixed size and hence you don't actually see any difference in size.
Also, for Windows 10, you should use Docker for Windows / Docker Desktop

Thanks for the reply. I cannot get Docker for Windows since I have Windows 10 Home. I've been reading around and there is not fix for it today, which is pretty silly for an open source project...

Nonetheless, you should be able to find containers/images/volumes inside the VM thatDocker Toolboxcreates.
