# rm
Usage: docker rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Remove one or more containers
-f, --force=false Force the removal of a running container (uses SIGKILL)
--help=false Print usage
-l, --link=false Remove the specified link
-v, --volumes=false Remove the volumes associated with the container
## Examples
$ docker rm /redis
/redis
This will remove the container referenced under the link
`/redis`.
$ docker rm --link /webapp/redis
/webapp/redis
This will remove the underlying link between `/webapp` and the `/redis`
containers removing all network communication.
$ docker rm --force redis
redis
The main process inside the container referenced under the link `/redis` will receive
`SIGKILL`, then the container will be removed.
$ docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
This command will delete all stopped containers. The command
`docker ps -a -q` will return all existing container IDs and pass them to
the `rm` command which will delete them. Any running containers will not be
deleted.
