docker compose rm

Removes stopped service containers

Usage

$ docker compose rm [OPTIONS] [SERVICE...]

Refer to the options section for an overview of available OPTIONS for this command.

Removes stopped service containers.

By default, anonymous volumes attached to containers are not removed. You can override this with -v. To list all volumes, use docker volume ls.

Any data which is not in a volume is lost.

Running the command with no options also removes one-off containers created by docker compose run:

$ docker compose rm
Going to remove djangoquickstart_web_run_1
Are you sure? [yN] y
Removing djangoquickstart_web_run_1 ... done
