will return all existing container IDs and pass them to the rm
command which will delete them. Any running containers will not be deleted.
$ docker rm -v redis redis
This command will remove the container and any volumes associated with it. Note that if a volume was specified with a name, it will not be removed.
$ docker create -v awesome:/foo -v /bar --name hello redis hello $ docker rm -v hello
