Remove Running Docker Container Guide
To remove a running container, you can use the following command:
- First, use the command “docker ps” to view a list of running containers and find the ID or name of the container you want to delete.
- Stop the container from running using the command “docker stop”, for example: docker stop
. - Once a container has been stopped, you can use the docker rm command to delete it, for example: docker rm
.
Warning: Deleting the container will result in the permanent loss of all data in the container. If you wish to keep the data, please make sure to backup the data before deleting the container.
