Examples
Remove a network
To remove the network named ‘my-network’:
$ docker network rm my-network
Remove multiple networks
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:
$ 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.
