# 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
```
Removes specified nodes from a swarm.
Example output:
$ docker node rm swarm-node-02
Node swarm-node-02 removed from swarm
Removes nodes from the swarm that are in the down state. Attempting to remove
an active node will result in an error:
```bash
$ 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 a worker node becomes compromised, exhibits unexpected or unwanted behavior, or if you lose access to it so
that a clean shutdown is impossible, you can use the force option.
```bash
$ docker node rm --force swarm-node-03
Node swarm-node-03 removed from swarm
```
Note that manager nodes have to be demoted to worker nodes before they can be removed
from the cluster.
