# podman-secret-rm(1)

Remove one or more secrets

## NAME

podman-secret-rm - Remove one or more secrets

## SYNOPSIS

**podman secret rm** \[*options*\] *secret* \[...\]

## DESCRIPTION

Removes one or more secrets.

**podman secret rm** is safe to use on secrets that are in use by a container. The created container has access to the secret data because secrets are copied and mounted into the container when a container is created. If a secret is deleted and another secret is created with the same name, the secret inside the container does not change; the old secret value still remains.

## OPTIONS

### --all, -a

Remove all existing secrets.

### --help

Print usage statement.

### --ignore, -i

Ignore errors when specified secrets are not present.

## EXAMPLES

Remove secrets mysecret1 and mysecret2.

```
$ podman secret rm mysecret1 mysecret2
```

Remove all secrets

```
$ podman secret rm --all
3fa78977c813cca1d5b1a4570
4ee314533b16a47d0d8c6e775
```

Removes the specified secrets. No error is thrown if a non-existent secret is included.

```
$ podman secret rm --ignore mysecret1 mysecret2 non_existent_secret
