The safe way to remove a manager 35 from a swarm is to demote it to a worker and then direct it to leave the quorum 36 without using `--force`. Only use `--force` in situations where the swarm will 37 no longer be used after the manager leaves, such as in a single-node swarm. 38 39 ## Examples 40 41 Consider the following swarm, as seen from the manager: 42 43 ```bash 44 $ docker node ls 45 ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS 46 7ln70fl22uw2dvjn2ft53m3q5 worker2 Ready Active 47 dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag worker1 Ready Active 48 dvfxp4zseq4s0rih1selh0d20 * manager1 Ready Active Leader 49 ``` 50 51 To remove `worker2`, issue the following command from `worker2` itself: 52 53 ```bash 54 $ docker swarm leave 55 Node left the default swarm. 56 ``` 57 58 The node will still appear in the node list, and marked as `down`. It no longer 59 affects swarm operation, but a long list of `down` nodes can clutter the node 60 list. To remove an inactive node from the list, use the [`node rm`](node_rm.md) 61 command. 62 63 ## Related commands 64 65 * [swarm ca](swarm_ca.md) 66 * [node rm](node_rm.md) 67 * [swarm init](swarm_init.md) 68 * [swarm join](swarm_join.md) 69 * [swarm join-token](swarm_join_token.md) 70 * [swarm unlock](swarm_unlock.md) 71 * [swarm unlock-key](swarm_unlock_key.md) 72 * [swarm update](swarm_update.md)
