Description

### **Issue:**
When attempting to delete a workspace that uses the DevContainers Docker template, and another running container is using the same image, the deletion fails with the following error:

```
Error: Unable to remove Docker image: Error response from daemon: conflict: unable to remove repository reference "ghcr.io/coder/envbuilder:latest" (must force) - container xxxxxxx is using its referenced image xxxxxxx.
```

#### **Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Create two workspaces, both using the DevContainers Docker template.
2. Attempt to delete one workspace while the other is still running and using the same template.
3. Observe the conflict error during the deletion process.

#### **Workaround:**
Attempting to delete the workspace after stopping the other running workspace succeeds.
