docker-rm

Remove a container

$ docker rm [container]

$ docker rm [container1] [container2]

$ docker rm -f [container]

$ docker rm -v [container]

$ docker rm $(docker ps -aq)

docker rm [options] container [container...]

docker rm removes one or more containers. Containers must be stopped unless -f is used. Does not remove images; use docker rmi for that. Container removal frees up disk space and cleans up container metadata from the Docker daemon. Named volumes are preserved unless explicitly removed with -v.

-f, --force

Force removal of running container.

Remove specified link.

Remove anonymous volumes attached to container.
