# rmi
```markdown
Usage: docker rmi [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE...]
Remove one or more images
Options:
-f, --force Force removal of the image
--help Print usage
--no-prune Do not delete untagged parents
```
## Examples
You can remove an image using its short or long ID, its tag, or its digest. If
an image has one or more tag referencing it, you must remove all of them before
the image is removed. Digest references are removed automatically when an image
is removed by tag.
```bash
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
test1 latest fd484f19954f 23 seconds ago 7 B (virtual 4.964 MB)
test latest fd484f19954f 23 seconds ago 7 B (virtual 4.964 MB)
test2 latest fd484f19954f 23 seconds ago 7 B (virtual 4.964 MB)
$ docker rmi fd484f19954f
Error: Conflict, cannot delete image fd484f19954f because it is tagged in multiple repositories, use -f to force

If you use the `-f` flag and specify the image's short or long ID, then this
command untags and removes all images that match the specified ID.
```bash
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
test1 latest fd484f19954f 23 seconds ago 7 B (virtual 4.964 MB)
test latest fd484f19954f 23 seconds ago 7 B (virtual 4.964 MB)
test2 latest fd484f19954f 23 seconds ago 7 B (virtual 4.964 MB)
$ docker rmi -f fd484f19954f
Untagged: test1:latest
Untagged: test:latest
Untagged: test2:latest
Deleted: fd484f19954f4920da7ff372b5067f5b7ddb2fd3830cecd17b96ea9e286ba5b8
```
An image pulled by digest has no tag associated with it:
```bash
$ docker images --digests
REPOSITORY TAG DIGEST IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
localhost:5000/test/busybox <none> sha256:cbbf2f9a99b47fc460d422812b6a5adff7dfee951d8fa2e4a98caa0382cfbdbf 4986bf8c1536 9 weeks ago 2.43 MB
```
To remove an image using its digest:
```bash
$ docker rmi localhost:5000/test/busybox@sha256:cbbf2f9a99b47fc460d422812b6a5adff7dfee951d8fa2e4a98caa0382cfbdbf
