NAME
podman-machine-rm - Remove a virtual machine
SYNOPSIS
podman machine rm [options] [name]
DESCRIPTION
Remove a virtual machine and its related files. What is actually deleted depends on the virtual machine type. For all virtual machines, the generated podman system connections are deleted. The ignition files generated for that VM are also removed as is its image file on the filesystem.
Users get a display of what is deleted and are required to confirm unless the option --force
is used.
The default machine name is podman-machine-default
. If a machine name is not specified as an argument,
then podman-machine-default
will be removed.
