DOCKER(1)

✨ NAME ✨

docker-checkpoint-rm — bestie, this is the little command that removes a checkpoint. that's it. that's the whole job. it's giving "delete this, we don't need it anymore" energy 💅

it lives inside the Docker User Manuals family, so if you were looking for the big DOCKER(1) vibe, you found it — this is one of its lil subcommands 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

docker checkpoint rm [OPTIONS] CONTAINER CHECKPOINT

so you hand it a CONTAINER, you hand it a CHECKPOINT, and you can sprinkle some [OPTIONS] on top if you're feeling fancy ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Remove a checkpoint. literally that. one checkpoint, gone, poof, no more, she's deleted 💀

no cap, that's the entire description the manual gives us, and honestly? iconic of it to be so direct.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --checkpoint-dir="" — use a custom checkpoint storage directory. so if your checkpoints aren't chilling in the default spot, you point this at wherever they actually live 🌈 note the default is an empty string "" right there in the flag, fr fr.
