This flag switches to removing containers directly from c/storage and is mostly used to remove orphan containers. It's a superior solution to our former one, which attempted removal from storage under certain circumstances and could, under some conditions, not trigger. Also contains the beginning of support for storage in `ps` but wiring that in is going to be a much bigger pain. Fixes #3329. Signed-off-by: Matthew Heon <matthew.heon@pm.me>

NAME
podman-container-rm (podman-rm) - Remove one or more containers
SYNOPSIS
podman container rm [options] container
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
--all, -a
Remove all containers. Can be used in conjunction with -f as well.
--force, -f
Force the removal of running and paused containers. Forcing a containers removal also removes containers from container storage even if the container is not known to podman. Containers could have been created by a different container engine.
--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.
The latest option is not supported on the remote client.
--storage
Remove the container from the storage library only.
This is only possible with containers that are not present in libpod (cannot be seen by podman ps).
It is used to remove containers from podman build and buildah, and orphan containers which were only partially removed by podman rm.
The storage option conflicts with the --all, --latest, and --volumes options.
--volumes, -v
Remove the volumes associated with the container.
EXAMPLE
Remove a container by its name mywebserver
podman rm mywebserver
Remove several containers by name and container id.
podman rm mywebserver myflaskserver 860a4b23
Forcibly remove a container by container ID.
podman rm -f 860a4b23
Remove all containers regardless of its run state.
podman rm -f -a
Forcibly remove the latest container created.
podman rm -f --latest
Exit Status
0 if all specified containers removed 1 if one of the specified containers did not exist, and no other failures 125 if command fails for a reason other then an container did not exist
