docker compose rm

Description

Removes stopped service containers

$ docker compose rm [SERVICE...]

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

Name, shorthand	Default	Description
`--all` , `-a`		Deprecated - no effect
`--force` , `-f`		Don't ask to confirm removal
`--stop` , `-s`		Stop the containers, if required, before removing
`--volumes` , `-v`		Remove any anonymous volumes attached to containers
