Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?
Working with volumes today can be tricky, it is hard to clear up old volumes as you cannot be sure without strong naming which volumes have been used by which containers. There is no simple way to 'dig into' a volume to do this either

Are you currently working around the issue?
Using some of the Docker CLI and otherwise having to use other tools/start new containers to look into volumes to work this out
