## NAME
podman\-container\-rm (podman\-rm) - Remove one or more containers
## SYNOPSIS
**podman container rm** [*options*] *container*
**podman 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 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 containers 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.
**--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
**_125_** if command fails for a reason other then an container did not exist
