Removes one or more volumes. Only volumes that are not being used are removed. If a volume is being used by a container, an error is returned unless the --force flag is being used. To remove all volumes, use the --all flag. Volumes can be removed individually by providing their full name or a unique partial name.
Options
--all, -a
Remove all volumes.
--force, -f
Remove a volume by force. If it is being used by containers, the containers are removed first.
