I got the same error , my fault was simply that I have a wrong path, ECR repo dosnet’ exist for my case. Check your target repo

@urzds: Unfortunately there’s no direct way to delete a layer. Layers are used by one or more images, and to delete a layer, you have to delete all the images that use it.

The simplest way, if all the images on your machine can be easily replaced, is to clear /var/lib/docker and start over. Otherwise, you’ll need to keep deleting overlapping images until docker build actually replaces all the layers in the image. It should be easy to tell if it is creating new layers or not, because it says ---> Using cache whenever it reuses an existing layer.
