NAME

       docker-container-rm - Remove one or more containers

SYNOPSIS

       docker container rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]

DESCRIPTION

       docker  container  rm will remove one or more containers from the host node. The container name or ID can
       be used. This does not remove images. You cannot remove a running container unless you use the -f option.
       To see all containers on a host use the docker container ls -a command.

EXAMPLES

Removing a container using its ID

       To  remove a container using its ID, find either from a docker ps -a command, or use the ID returned from
       the docker run command, or retrieve it from a file used to store it using the docker run --cidfile:

       docker container rm abebf7571666

Removing a container using the container name

       The name of the container can be found using the docker ps -a command. The use that name as follows:

       docker container rm hopeful_morse

Removing a container and all associated volumes

       $ docker container rm -v redis
       redis

       This command will remove the container and any volumes associated with it.  Note that  if  a  volume  was
       specified with a name, it will not be removed.

       $ docker create -v awesome:/foo -v /bar --name hello redis
       hello
       $ docker container rm -v hello

       In  this  example,  the volume for /foo will remain in tact, but the volume for /bar will be removed. The
       same behavior holds for volumes inherited with --volumes-from.
