Help removing Docker Engine

Hi all,

I tried removing the docker plugin, but it appears it didn't remove completely. The plug in is gone, but when I look in the Update Manager it shows that there is an update. So I went into the shell and tried doing a purge, but the purge tells me it is in an inconsistent state and to reinstall. So I try to reinstall, but it says it can't kill the process. So I am lost on how to clean it up.

Also how do I post this so it can be scrollable and doesn't take up so much space?

Running rm /var/run/docker-ssd.pid, it didn't say anything and just went back to the prompt. I did the purge and got the same error message as above.

Thanks!

Says it is starting then goes to the prompt. I then try the purge again and still the same issue.

Thanks!

Same error.

Thanks

Same as before, I pasted rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/docker-engine.postrm and it didn't say anything and brought me back to the prompt. Purged and same issue saying package is in an inconsistent state.

Thanks!

No prob, Thanks for the help!
