Little changed after I ran this script. My ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/ is a whopping 64.01 GB.

Running 'docker system prune' only recovers: Total reclaimed space: 1.986GB

But when I check ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/ for size after prune it still says 64.01 GB.

Am I doing something wrong or is 'docker system prune' useless?

The 64GB is reserved space for the disk image. It doesn’t actually mean there is 64GB of data inside it.

See here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/space/

docker prune -a is probably what you’re looking for. (I’m not responsible for data loss)
