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?

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.
