- Repeat.
- Over some time (usually 4 to 6 days), the cycle breaks.

Describe the results you expected:
Expect the cleaning process to clean everything and not receive:
ERROR: for my-redacted-data-container Conflict. The name "/my-redacted-data-container" is already in use by container ecb293bb1fad3948d9a7366f931a001b7abcbd9c9aefdf27c530be7a4b4cc632. You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name.
Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
Issue is happening frequently, every week or depending on the number of changes and integrations, even twice a week.
Cleaning the context again doesn't solve the problem, not even restarting docker, the only solution is the stop docker, remove all contents of /var/lib/docker/* (/mnt/docker-data in my case), and start docker.
