21Removes one or more networks by name or identifier. To remove a network,
22you must first disconnect any containers connected to it.
23
24## Examples
25
26### Remove a network
27
28To remove the network named 'my-network':
29
30```console
31$ docker network rm my-network
32```
33
34### Remove multiple networks
35
36To delete multiple networks in a single `docker network rm` command, provide
37multiple network names or ids. The following example deletes a network with id
38`3695c422697f` and a network named `my-network`:
39
40```console
41$ docker network rm 3695c422697f my-network
42```
43
44When you specify multiple networks, the command attempts to delete each in turn.
45If the deletion of one network fails, the command continues to the next on the
46list and tries to delete that. The command reports success or failure for each
47deletion.
