docker buildx rm [options] [name...]

docker buildx rm removes the specified builder instance or, if no name is given, the currently selected builder. Removing the default builder is a no-op since it uses the Docker daemon's built-in build capabilities.The command stops the associated BuildKit daemon and cleans up its state by default. Use --keep-daemon to leave the daemon running independently, or --keep-state to preserve build cache and state for a future builder with the same name.

--all-inactive

Remove all inactive builder instances.

Do not prompt for confirmation.

Keep the BuildKit daemon running after removing the builder. Supported by docker-container and kubernetes drivers only.

Preserve BuildKit state so a new builder with the same name can reuse it. Supported by docker-container driver only.

Override default timeout for loading builder status (default: 20s).

The default builder cannot be removed. The --keep-daemon flag only works with docker-container and kubernetes drivers. The --keep-state flag only works with the docker-container driver.
