# Delete the service running on the Swarm
The remaining steps in the tutorial don't use the `helloworld` service, so now
you can delete the service from the Swarm.
1. 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 remove helloworld` to remove the `helloworld` service.
```
$ docker service rm helloworld
helloworld
```
3. Run `docker service inspect SERVICE-ID` to veriy that Swarm removed the
service. The CLI returns a message that the service is not found:
```
$ docker service inspect helloworld
[]
Error: no such service or task: helloworld
```
## What's next?
In the next step of the tutorial, you set up a new service and and apply a
[rolling update](rolling-update.md).
