+## NAME
+podman\-rm - Remove one or more containers
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman rm** [*options*] *container*
+
+**podman container rm** [*options*] *container*
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+**podman rm** will remove one or more containers from the host. The container name or ID can be used. This does not remove images.
+Running or unusable containers will not be removed without the `-f` option.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--all**, **-a**
+
+Remove all containers. Can be used in conjunction with -f as well.
+
+**--force**, **-f**
+
+Force the removal of running and paused containers. Forcing a container removal also
+removes containers from container storage even if the container is not known to podman.
+Containers could have been created by a different container engine.
+In addition, forcing can be used to remove unusable containers, e.g. containers
+whose OCI runtime has become unavailable.
+
+**--latest**, **-l**
+
+Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman
+to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.
+
+The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
+
+**--storage**
+
+Remove the container from the storage library only.
+This is only possible with containers that are not present in libpod (cannot be seen by `podman ps`).
+It is used to remove containers from `podman build` and `buildah`, and orphan containers which were only partially removed by `podman rm`.
+The storage option conflicts with the **--all**, **--latest**, and **--volumes** options.
+
+**--volumes**, **-v**
+
+Remove the volumes associated with the container.
+
+## EXAMPLE
+Remove a container by its name *mywebserver*
+```
+podman rm mywebserver
+```
+Remove several containers by name and container id.
+```
+podman rm mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
+```
+
+Forcibly remove a container by container ID.
+```
+podman rm -f 860a4b23
+```
+
+Remove all containers regardless of its run state.
+```
+podman rm -f -a
+```
+
+Forcibly remove the latest container created.
+```
+podman rm -f --latest
+```
+
+## Exit Status
+**_0_** if all specified containers removed
+**_1_** if one of the specified containers did not exist, and no other failures
+**_2_** if one of the specified containers is paused or running
+**_125_** if the command fails for a reason other than container did not exist or is paused/running
