recently created container.  We can now use "**latest"
to represent the most recent container instead of its
container ID or name.  For example:

NAME

podman rm - Remove one or more containers

SYNOPSIS

podman rm [options [...]] container

DESCRIPTION

podman rm will remove one or more containers from the host. The container name or ID can be used. This does not remove images. Running containers will not be removed without the -f option

OPTIONS

--force, f

Force the removal of a running container

--all, a

Remove all containers. Can be used in conjunction with -f as well.

--latest, -l Instead of providing the container name or ID, use the last created container. If you use methods other than Podman to run containers such as CRI-O, the last started container could be from either of those methods.

EXAMPLE

podman rm mywebserver

podman rm mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23

podman rm -f 860a4b23

podman rm -f -a

podman rm -f --latest
