podman-pod-rm(1)

NAME

podman-pod-rm - Remove one or more stopped pods and containers

SYNOPSIS

podman pod rm [options] pod

DESCRIPTION

podman pod rm will remove one or more stopped pods and their containers from the host. The pod name or ID can be used. The -f option stops all containers and then removes them before removing the pod. If all containers added by the user are in an exited state, the pod will be removed.

OPTIONS

  --all, -a

Remove all pods. Can be used in conjunction with -f as well.

  --force, -f

Stop running containers and delete all stopped containers before removal of pod.

  --ignore, -i

Ignore errors when specified pods are not in the container store. A user might have decided to manually remove a pod which would lead to a failure during the ExecStop directive of a systemd service referencing that pod.

  --latest, -l

Instead of providing the pod name or ID, remove the last created pod. (This option is not available with the remote Podman client, including Mac and Windows (excluding WSL2) machines)

  --pod-id-file=file

Read pod ID from the specified file and rm the pod. Can be specified multiple times.

  --time, -t=seconds

Seconds to wait before forcibly stopping running containers within the pod.

The --force option must be specified to use the --time option.

EXAMPLE

Remove pod with a given name

    podman pod rm mywebserverpod

Remove multiple pods with given names and/or IDs

    podman pod rm mywebserverpod myflaskserverpod 860a4b23

Forcefully remove pod with a given ID

    podman pod rm -f 860a4b23

Forcefully remove all pods

    podman pod rm -f -a
    podman pod rm -fa

Remove pod using ID specified in a given file

    podman pod rm --pod-id-file /path/to/id/file

Exit Status

0 All specified pods removed

1 One of the specified pods did not exist, and no other failures

2 One of the specified pods is attached to a container

125 The command fails for any other reason
