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 anonymous volumes associated with the container. This does not include named volumes +created with `podman volume create`, or the `--volume` option of `podman run` and `podman create`. + +## 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 + +## SEE ALSO +podman(1), podman-image-rm(1) + +## HISTORY +August 2017, Originally compiled by Ryan Cole <rycole@redhat.com> |
