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 SSH keys and the podman system connection 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 will be deleted and are required to confirm unless the option --force
is used.
OPTIONS
--help

--force
Delete without confirmation
--save-ignition
Do not delete the generated ignition file
--save-image

--save-keys

EXAMPLES

$ podman machine rm test1

/home/user/.ssh/test1
/home/user/.ssh/test1.pub
/home/user/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/test1.ign
