Issue Docker overlay2 keep growing in size

Grasmachien

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.63
I am using the Docker extension in order to run a mysql database server because Plesk only supports MariaDB by default.
This works as expected, however for some reason the folder /var/lib/docker/overlay2/952190098a02a4a5a2283980c8a79a7850330c8f3eb4e2fc2bcce6b8e78ee245/merged has grown to a whopping 135GB.

It is not a problem yet but if it keeps growing it might become one.
It seems like there is no way to limit the disk space for a docker container in the Plesk extension.

Is there another solution to clean the folder and free up disk space?
