Hi@akhtar,

To solve this error, you have to check if this /var/lib/docker/aufs/mnt is mounted or not. To check you can use mount -l command. 

If the folder is mounted, then follow the bellow given steps.

$ docker stop -f $(docker ps -a -q) //it will stop all the containers.
$ docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) //Remove all the containers.
$ docker rmi -f $(docker images -q) //Remove all the images.

Hope this will work.
