This is happening to me as well, even in current 4.34.2 version. I am using Windows 11. This is important because we usually have to click this option to actually free storage. But with this bug, I have to either downgrade docker or wait for a fix.

Hey! Thanks for the report, we've escalated this issue, and a fix for this will be available in the next Docker Desktop release.

What I'm currently doing to purge data as a workaround is manually cleaning the virtual disk, this way:

wsl --shutdown
diskpart
select vdisk file="C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Docker\wsl\disk\docker_data.vhdx"
attach vdisk readonly
compact vdisk
detach vdisk
exit

Not ideal but gets it done :/

I have been trying this myself, but running into this error and cannot figure out how to resolve it:

DiskPart has encountered an error: The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation.  Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse.
See the System Event Log for more information.

I have also tried to compress it via Hyper-V Manager but similar issue. I'm getting close to having to wipe Docker entirely before I completely run out of disk space.
