Docker images and containers location with Windows 10 using hyper-v

When using Docker with Windows 10 and Hyper-V as the backend for virtualization, Docker images and containers are stored within the Hyper-V virtual machine. Here's the typical location where Docker stores its data on Windows 10 with Hyper-V:

1. Images Location: Docker images are stored in the Hyper-V virtual machine's file system. By default, they are located within the "MobyLinuxVM" virtual machine. You won't usually directly access these files, as Docker manages them for you.

2. Containers Location: Similarly, containers and their data are stored within the Hyper-V virtual machine. Docker manages the storage of container data and provides the necessary abstractions to work with containers.

3. Hyper-V Virtual Machines Location: The Hyper-V virtual machines, including the MobyLinuxVM used by Docker, are typically stored in the "Virtual Hard Disks" folder within your Hyper-V installation directory. The exact path could be something like C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks.

Keep in mind that Docker abstracts the storage and management of images and containers, so you won't generally need to access these files manually. Docker provides commands and tools to manage images, containers, and volumes without needing direct access to the underlying storage.

If you want to access or manipulate Docker images and containers, you should use Docker's command-line tools (docker command) or Docker Desktop's user interface. Docker provides a consistent way to manage your containers and images regardless of the underlying storage mechanisms.
