podman-container-rm (podman-rm) - Remove one or more containers
podman container rm [options] container
podman rm [options] container
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
--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.
--volumes, -v
Remove the volumes associated with the container. (Not yet implemented)
