I run command docker system prune yesterday, it took some time and then my SSH session was disconnected from different reason.

Unfortunately I am getting now:

Error response from daemon: a prune operation is already running.

Obviously there is a lock and prune command is not running anymore.

Does anybody know how remove the lock without stopping and removing all containers?

EDIT: Created an issue in repo: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/36447

Restarting docker worked for me.
