# rm

```
Usage: hyper rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]

Remove one or more containers

  -f, --force=false      Force the removal of a running container (uses SIGKILL)
  --help=false           Print usage
  -v, --volumes=false    Remove auto-created volumes associated with the container
```

## Examples

```
$ hyper rm /redis
/redis
```

This will remove the container referenced under the link `/redis`.

```
$ hyper rm --link /webapp/redis
/webapp/redis
```

This will remove the underlying link between `/webapp` and the `/redis` containers removing all network communication.

```
$ hype rm --force redis
redis
```

The main process inside the container referenced under the link `/redis` will receive `SIGKILL`, then the container will be removed.

```
$ hyper rm $(hyper ps -a -q)
```

This command will delete all stopped containers. The command `docker ps -a -q` will return all existing container IDs and pass them to the `rm` command which will delete them. Any running containers will not be deleted.
