Chapter 6. Deleting a Container


Abstract

Deleting a container removes the container's records from the fabric's runtime registry. It also deletes the container's data and runtime artifacts from the container's host.

Overview

A container creates artifacts in two locations:
  • the fabric registry
  • the container host's file system
When you delete one of the containers from a fabric you delete the container's artifacts from both locations. The entries for the container are removed from the runtime registry. The container and all of its data are also removed from the container host's file system.
Important
If you delete a container that has children, you will also delete its children.

Procedure

To delete a container:
  1. Select Containers from the main menu.
    The Containers page opens.
  2. Select a container from the list.
    Note
    You will not be able to delete any of the ensemble containers.
  3. Click Delete.
    A confirmation dialog opens.
  4. Click Yes.
    The confirmation dialog closes and the container disappears from the container list.
