## Examples
|
|
|
|
### Removing a container using its ID
|
|
|
|
To remove a container using its ID, find either from a **docker ps -a**
|
|
command, or use the ID returned from the **docker run** command, or retrieve
|
|
it from a file used to store it using the **docker run --cidfile**:
|
|
|
|
$ docker container rm abebf7571666
|
|
|
|
### Removing a container using the container name
|
|
|
|
The name of the container can be found using the **docker ps -a**
|
|
command. The use that name as follows:
|
|
|
|
$ docker container rm hopeful_morse
|
|
|
|
### Removing a container and all associated volumes
|
|
|
|
$ docker container rm -v redis
|
|
redis
|
|
|
|
This command will remove the container and any volumes associated with it.
|
|
Note that if a volume was specified with a name, it will not be removed.
|
|
|
|
$ docker create -v awesome:/foo -v /bar --name hello redis
|
|
|
|
hello
|
|
|
|
$ docker container rm -v hello
|
|
|
|
In this example, the volume for `/foo` will remain in tact, but the volume for
|
|
`/bar` will be removed. The same behavior holds for volumes inherited with
|
|
`--volumes-from`.
