    17  
    18  ```markdown
    19  Usage:  docker rmi [OPTIONS] IMAGE [IMAGE...]
    20  
    21  Remove one or more images
    22  
    23  Options:
    24    -f, --force      Force removal of the image
    25        --help       Print usage
    26        --no-prune   Do not delete untagged parents
    27  ```
    28  
    29  You can remove an image using its short or long ID, its tag, or its digest. If
    30  an image has one or more tag referencing it, you must remove all of them before
    31  the image is removed. Digest references are removed automatically when an image
    32  is removed by tag.

    56  If you use the `-f` flag and specify the image's short or long ID, then this
    57  command untags and removes all images that match the specified ID.
