If you haven't already, open a terminal and ssh into the machine where you run your manager node. For example, the tutorial uses a machine named `manager1`. 2. Run `docker service rm helloworld` to remove the `helloworld` service. ``` $ docker service rm helloworld helloworld ``` 3. Run `docker service inspect <SERVICE-ID>` to verify that the swarm manager removed the service. The CLI returns a message that the service is not found: ``` $ docker service inspect helloworld [] Error: no such service: helloworld ``` ## What's next? In the next step of the tutorial, you set up a new service and apply a [rolling update](rolling-update.md).
