## Description

Removes a plugin. You cannot remove a plugin if it is enabled, you must disable
a plugin using the [`docker plugin disable`](plugin_disable.md) before removing
it, or use `--force`. Use of `--force` is not recommended, since it can affect
functioning of running containers using the plugin.

## Examples

The following example disables and removes the `sample-volume-plugin:latest`
plugin:

```console
$ docker plugin disable tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin

tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin

$ docker plugin rm tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin:latest

tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin
```
