# node rm
```markdown
Usage: docker node rm [OPTIONS] NODE [NODE...]
Remove one or more nodes from the swarm
Aliases:
rm, remove
Options:
--force Force remove an active node
--help Print usage
```
When run from a manager node, removes the specified nodes from a swarm.
Example output:
```nohighlight
$ docker node rm swarm-node-02
Node swarm-node-02 removed from swarm
```
Removes the specified nodes from the swarm, but only if the nodes are in the
down state. If you attempt to remove an active node you will receive an error:
```nohighlight
$ docker node rm swarm-node-03
Error response from daemon: rpc error: code = 9 desc = node swarm-node-03 is not
down and can't be removed
```
If you lose access to a worker node or need to shut it down because it has been
compromised or is not behaving as expected, you can use the `--force` option.
This may cause transient errors or interruptions, depending on the type of task
being run on the node.
```nohighlight
$ docker node rm --force swarm-node-03
Node swarm-node-03 removed from swarm
```
A manager node must be demoted to a worker node (using `docker node demote`)
before you can remove it from the swarm.
