runc-delete(8)

✨ runc-delete ✨

okay bestie, welcome to runc-delete, part of the runc manual pages 💅 this one is short and sweet and it does exactly one thing: delete any resources held by the container. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

runc delete [--force|-f] container-id

that's the whole shape of it — you give it a container-id, you optionally scream --force at it, and it goes off to do its little cleanup thing 🧹✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --force, -f — forcibly delete the running container, using SIGKILL signal(7) to stop it first. yeah. it does not ask nicely, it does not send a polite little goodbye message, it goes straight to SIGKILL and then deletes. main character energy fr fr 💀

---

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

say your container id is ubuntu01 and runc list is currently showing its status as stopped (emphasis on stopped, bestie — we love a container that already sat down 🙈). then this:

# runc delete ubuntu01

will delete the resources held for ubuntu01, removing it from the runc list. gone. poof. not on the list anymore 💖

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• runc-kill(8)
• runc(8)

---

ngl the --force flag is giving "i'm not mad i'm just disappointed" but with SIGKILL — just know it skips the gentle part entirely 🫶

---

and that's the whole page, my love 🌈 stay hydrated, read your manpages, and remember: runc-delete(8) came to you from the System Manager's Manual 💜 mwah, bye 🎀⭐
