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.
