docker rm <options> <container-id>
A running container cannot be removed unless -f is used.
Once deleted, a container discards its writable layer so the state maintained there from previous runs is lost. The base image is not modified.
Options
-f, --force
Force the removal of a running container (uses SIGKILL).
