To remove a network, you must first disconnect any containers connected to it. To remove the network named 'my-network': ```bash $ docker network rm my-network ``` To delete multiple networks in a single `docker network rm` command, provide multiple network names or ids. The following example deletes a network with id `3695c422697f` and a network named `my-network`: ```bash $ docker network rm 3695c422697f my-network ``` When you specify multiple networks, the command attempts to delete each in turn. If the deletion of one network fails, the command continues to the next on the list and tries to delete that. The command reports success or failure for each deletion. ## Related information * [network disconnect ](network_disconnect.md) * [network connect](network_connect.md) * [network create](network_create.md) * [network ls](network_ls.md) * [network inspect](network_inspect.md) * [Understand Docker container networks](../../userguide/networking/index.md)
