Hallo, thanks for the reply.
So then the files are still occupying the disk space but I do not see them.
Is it possible to somehow merge the base image into the one being created
instead of keeping base as separate image? Then I guess the deleted files
should not take any space?
Rgrds,

 Hi Michael,
 It's not the issue. When you copy, create, install some files
 in one layer and delete them in another the files still
 will be persist in the resulting image but you will not see
 them the shell. It's applicable not only for buildah.
 Here is some example dockerfile excerpt:
 
 RUN wget 
http://some_url_with_file -O /your_file
 
 RUN rm /your_file
 
 Here we create two layers. One downloads a file and
 another deletes it. Container images layers use OverlayFS
 to combines multiple different underlying mount points into one.
