Perfectly simple solution to an issue docker should handle itself. Thanks!

docker rmi $(docker images --quiet --filter "dangling=true")

If anyone uses buildkit, the btrfs subvolume delete btrfs/subvolumes/* command might cause the system to be unable to build images using buildkit.

The solution that worked for me is removing /var/lib/docker/* with rm -rf and reinstalling docker again.
