The safe way to remove a manager 26 from a swarm is to demote it to a worker and then direct it to leave the quorum 27 without using `--force`. Only use `--force` in situations where the swarm will 28 no longer be used after the manager leaves, such as in a single-node swarm. 29 30 ## Examples 31 32 Consider the following swarm, as seen from the manager: 33 34 ```bash 35 $ docker node ls 36 37 ID HOSTNAME STATUS AVAILABILITY MANAGER STATUS 38 7ln70fl22uw2dvjn2ft53m3q5 worker2 Ready Active 39 dkp8vy1dq1kxleu9g4u78tlag worker1 Ready Active 40 dvfxp4zseq4s0rih1selh0d20 * manager1 Ready Active Leader 41 ``` 42 43 To remove `worker2`, issue the following command from `worker2` itself: 44 45 ```bash 46 $ docker swarm leave 47 48 Node left the default swarm. 49 ``` 50 51 The node will still appear in the node list, and marked as `down`. It no longer 52 affects swarm operation, but a long list of `down` nodes can clutter the node 53 list. To remove an inactive node from the list, use the [`node rm`](node_rm.md) 54 command. 55 56 ## Related commands 57 58 * [swarm ca](swarm_ca.md) 59 * [node rm](node_rm.md) 60 * [swarm init](swarm_init.md) 61 * [swarm join](swarm_join.md) 62 * [swarm join-token](swarm_join-token.md) 63 * [swarm unlock](swarm_unlock.md) 64 * [swarm unlock-key](swarm_unlock-key.md) 65 * [swarm update](swarm_update.md)
