Sometimes a network fails to be removed with the following error :
$ docker network rm s_web
Error response from daemon: error while removing network: network s_web id 6b63ee4e95208b6869d072ef45803dbd2b9a517b03b1679c586814a66552f037 has active endpoints
Running docker inspect s_web shows no containers attached. In fact there are no containers at all.
$ docker container ls -a
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
The only way to delete the network is to restart the docker service and then run the delete command again.
This error appears randomly, so it is fairly hard to reproduce willingly.
Reproduce
docker compose up # compose.yaml in additional info
docker compose down --remove-orphans -v
docker network rm s_web
Expected behavior
The network should be removed

Same problem seen on multiple servers
Using it as CICD runner, the network is created with docker compose up, and should be removed with docker compose down --remove-orphans -v
