Which command would you use to remove a stopped container?

To remove a stopped container, the command docker rm [container_id] is used. This command is specifically designed for removing containers that are not currently running. When a container is stopped, it still exists in the Docker engine until it is explicitly removed by this command.

Using docker rm, you can not only remove stopped containers but also specify one or multiple container IDs or names in a single command. This makes it a versatile option for container management. While other commands mentioned may relate to managing containers, they do not perform the action of removal.

For instance, docker stop [container_id] is used to stop a running container, and docker container delete [container_id] is not a valid command in Docker's command-line interface (the correct command to remove is docker rm). Similarly, docker destroy [container_id] is not a recognized command in Docker's functionality. Thus, docker rm [container_id] is indeed the appropriate choice for removing a stopped container.
