## NAME

**atrm** – remove jobs spooled by [at(1)](/at/1.md)

## SYNOPSIS

**atrm** \[**-afi**\]\[ \[*job*\] \[*name*\] *...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**atrm** removes jobs that were created with the [at(1)](/at/1.md) command.

The options are as follows:

- **-a**

  Remove all jobs belonging to the user invoking **atrm**. If the user is the superuser, remove all jobs.

- **-f**
