title: Explore Volumes
|

---
|
|
|
|
The **Volumes** view in Docker Dashboard enables you to easily create and delete volumes and see which ones are being used. You can also see which container is using a specific volume and explore the files and folders in your volumes.
|
|
|
|
For more information about volumes, see [Use volumes](../../storage/volumes.md). For examples of how to use volumes in the GUI, see [Persiting the DB](../../get-started/05_persisting_data.md) and [Use bind mounts](../../get-started/06_bind_mounts.md).
|
|
|
|
By default, the **Volumes** view displays a list of all the volumes. Volumes that are currently used by a container display the **In Use** badge.
|
|
|
|
## Manage your volumes
|
|
|
|
Use the **Search** field to search for any specific volume.
|
|
|
|
You can sort volumes by:
|
|
- Name
|
|
- Date created
|
|
- Size
|
|
|
|
From the **More options** menu to the right of the search bar, you can choose what volume information to display.
|
|
|
|
## Inspect a volume
|
|
|
|
To explore the details of a specific volume, select a volume from the list. This opens the detailed view.
|
|
|
|
The **In Use** tab displays the name of the container using the volume, the image name, the port number used by the container, and the target. A target is a path inside a container that gives access to the files in the volume.
|
|
|
|
The **Data** tab displays the files and folders in the volume and the file size. To save a file or a folder, hover over the file or folder and select on the more options menu. Select **Save As** and then specify a location to download the file.
|
|
|
|
To delete a file or a folder from the volume, select **Remove** from the **More options** menu.
|
|
|
|
## Remove a volume
|
|
|
|
Removing a volume deletes the volume and all its data.
|
|
|
|
To remove a volume, hover over the volume and then select the **Delete** icon. Alternatively, select the volume from the list and then select the **Delete** button. |
