Remove Docker Network

Docker networking is basically used for establishing communication between Docker containers and the outside of Docker. During the testing or development process, we can quickly accumulate numerous unused networks that take a disk space and can be removed. This tutorial shows how to remove Docker network.

Remove network

docker network rm eth0

Note that cannot to remove a network that is used by Docker container. The network should be disconnected from any containers connected to it.

Remove multiple networks

docker network rm eth0 eth1
